Tea! This subreddit is for discussion of beverages made from soaking camellia sinensis leaves (or twigs) in water, and, to a lesser extent, herbal infusions, yerba mate, and other tisanes.
Hello,
Lapsang Souchong is a bit of a divisive tea variant, to the point that it seems there isn't much middle ground here. In short, you either like it (a lot) or you certainly do not.
Personally I belong to the former category and feel completely zen after a cup. The smell (and also the taste, sort of) make me associate it with campfires and the heat (and smell) of a wood stove, yet what are your experience with it? Why do those of you that drink it like it so much? Do you associate it with smoked food you like (or peated whisky), do you like the sheer uniqueness of it, or is it something else? Curious to hear what others think!
