Name: Lapsang Souchong Star
Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: Black
Dry Scent: Campfire. Straight-up, pure campfire smoke smell. This makes me think of summer nights and roasting marshmallows, or being curled up in bed in the cabin in the middle of winter with a fire roaring in the woodstove.
Steeping Time: 4 min
Steeped Flavour: Strong, smokey and tannic, with the earthy flavours of black tea and an almost peaty aftertaste. Not for the everyday but definitely a good example of its type.
Food/Drink Pairings: Nothing even remotely sweet. This would go well with barbecue ribs, or as a rub for cooking salmon. It would also be very good with a little scotch on the side. Not mixed in, of course, but they go well together.
Rating out of Six Tails:
5/6
