2022 Smoked Lapsang | White2tea

Trying to get through all the W2T samples I’ve yet to put here. I’m actually running out of tea at school! So if I run out I’ll probably place an order soon for some new stuff. Maybe Yeeon, LP, or something similar.

This is the smokiest smoked Lapsang I’ve had. The campfire-like smoke can be smelt strongly on the dry leaves and only gets stronger once hot water hits it. The entire room will smell like campfire and cigarettes once you start brewing this tea. Once again, it has those nicely rolled leaves that open up easy in my teapot. Definitely drank the rinse here. Liquor color is something I don’t normally see, and is pretty unique. The yellow color is slightly opaque and almost tinted. Like a lightly fogged gold. Surprisingly, flavor is pretty standard here. Tastes like high end smoked Lapsang, but doesn’t quite hit the quality I’d expect for the budget. It’s not an extremely pricey tea, but, as a Lapsang, I find myself wondering if the price to quality ratio has been maxed out. I ask the same question when I’m drinking a shou that is way over the $1 per gram margin. There are some teas that fit in that sweet spot, but I’m unsure about this one! Not to say it’s not a great tea, just that its flavor is nothing shocking. Tastes like smoked Lapsang, and it is smoked Lapsang. Aroma, liquor color, texture, leaf quality, etc are all the things keeping these leaves at a higher price.
