What tea drinkers say
5.00 out of 5from 4 published reviews
Nostalgia in a cup. Brings me back to 2011 sitting by the river with a fire going, salmon fishing with my best friend Bob.
Wonderful, comforting tea! It definitely makes me feel like I am sitting by a campfire in the wintertime. I just love the smokiness of the tea. And it's great drink to have on its own! I just drink it black, with nothing added into it. Lovely tea. I will definitely drink this again!
A wonderful change from the ordinary. Smokey and lively, reminds me of a mountain forest night. The smell is delightful, peaty campfire with sweet undertone from the pine. I plan to make it more rounded by adding spruce or pine sugar (place some new growth in the sugar or fake sugar for a month, use as normal sugar). Not a tea for blending, this tea is for the long and slow sips. Great apertif.
This is my absolute favourite tea and the Vintage Fork has the absolute smoothest, smokiest Lapsang Souchong of them all. I do like it with a splash of milk but it is equally nice without anything added. I will be back...
