I started drinking this tea in college and became a fan because it is reminiscent of old-fashioned ski wax and lodges and snow. Still a fan after too many years to count, I drink this tea every morning (Stash only; the others are nothing in comparison). This is a tea for people who live life to the fullest, even if only in the imagination.

This is the tea I drink every day - I love it so much! Its intensely smoke, which may be off-putting to some, but has the most wonderful full-bodied finish that keeps me coming back for more. It is a strong tea, so some may wish to make a weaker cup but not me! I just wish it came in larger bag sizes because I tend to go through it very very quickly.

It is great and the Stash Tea people get things to you quickly and customer service is very good!

This version of Lapsang Souchong has moderate to strong smokiness that is bold, but does not fully overpower the black tea flavor notes. It is very fragrant. You can smell the smokiness throughout the room when it is being made and consumed. The steeped water is reddish brown. I also have lots of tasting experience with the Twinings brand of bagged Lapsang Souchong, which I think is still good in taste, but second to this offering by Stash in loose tea.
