Review: Know what to expect - Let me start with this- you're either going to love it, or you're going to hate it. I personally like the smell of wood smoke and smoked foods. If you sharkey tastes you will probably enjoy this. When you open the bag the scent is clearly of wood smoke. In fact the smoke scent overpowers the tea scent. To be clear this isn't the smell of hickory or mesquite that you might be used to. It is the scent of a campfire the next morning after it has burnt out. I suspect that whether or not you're someone who has had fond memories of camping or sitting around a firepit (or fireplace) will affect how much you like this tea. They say scent is a trigger for memories and this tea is an example. The scent of this tea will fill a room. It's not overpowering, but you will definitely notice it. As far as taste goes it will depend on how long you step the tea. I use 1 teaspoon for 2 cups of water and let it steep for 15 minutes. This produces a dark tea with a strong smoky scent. These is definitely a bitterness to the tea that comes from the smoke. You will want to experiment with how long to step it because 15 minutes will be way to long for you. The taste is predominantly smokey up front with the tea flavor slowly coming though. The flavor lingers for quite a while. In conclusion for me personally this is a very enjoyable tea, but it won't be for everyone. Take the caveats into consideration. I wrote with the hope of informing you of what to expect from this unusual tea. If you found my review helpful I would be grateful if you take just a moment to click that helpful button. Have a great day.
Review: Very Good Tea - I am about 5 months out from purchase and nearing the bottom of my first bag. I have found the tea to be a good example of lapsang souchang. It is smoky but I still get different levels of the tea's floral notes. I was about to re-order and noticed some of the negative reviews about "scented" meaning that it is not truly smoked. One reviewer stated that there must be additives. Instead of wondering or letting the comments affect my next purchase, I reached out to the company with these questions and this was there response,"Our Lapsang Souchong does not contain any additives. It is smoked over pine wood naturally which produces the smoky flavor. The flavor can vary however for each shipment that we receive due to the age of the pine wood that was used at the tea plantation. This can sometimes result in a stronger, bolder flavor, and sometimes a smoother, more subtle flavor. Additionally, due to its distinct flavor and taste, this tea is naturally a polarizing tea for each persons flavor palette." I would agree with this statement. When buying in bulk, taste can vary substantially. This is not a single barrel scotch whiskey. I find each merchant to be somewhat consistent but not always the same. This is on the smokier end but I would recommend it for anyone who is a fan of bolder teas. But I also like Islay whiskies, so be prepared.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An interesting flavor that, alas, is not quite to my style.
*by A***R on June 1, 2019*

The concept sounds intriguing - pine-smoked lapsang souchong, but for me, the theory doesn't quite work in its implementation. The smokiness you expect in a lapsang souchong is nicely balanced, not too strong, nor too weak, but there's a decidedly "piney" resinous taste, as well, that, while fine in a Greek retsina wine, is a bit overpowering in a tea. I thought the flavor sounded very good, but it simply doesn't suit my personal preferences. Your mileage may vary. The packaging is fine, the overall tea quality seems acceptable - don't overlook this tea simply because it doesn't suit one person's palate.
