Adventures in tea: Lapsang Souchong

(following up slowly on the initial post)

 

Lapsang Souchong from VT Tea and Trading Co is bin #325 in City Market's bulk section.  It is a type of black tea; what differentiates it from other black teas is that during the drying process it is smoked on a pinewood fire.

The batch I had was strongly piney, though Sarahmac declared it "smelled like bacon".  I enjoyed it for a week, but probably will not have it again anytime soon.
