Yunnan Black Bold Simao (1 leaf/1 bud) from JAS-eTea. Exceptionally good today, not sure why.
Poobong Estate SFTGFOP1
Poobong, huh? I'm having to fight to keep my inner Beavis under control.
Lapsong Souchong Black Dragon acquired as a sample from UptonTea.
I'm trying to understand Lapsong Souchong teas. Most of what I've tried (all from Upton) really just taste like drinking a campfire. Way too much strong smoke and nothing else. I've tried blending it with other teas, but even a few leaves overpower the entire blend.
This one seems to be the exception and has given me a glimpse into why people would drink lapsong. It's still quite smokey but it's got a tad more to it; a bit of sweetness underneath the smoke. This is a cup I can finish!
if you enjoy islay scotch you will enjoy LS
Simao Black Gold. You can't go wrong here.
I wish I had thrown that into my last order from Steve. I do need a yixing though.....
The only non-pu I've ordered from him was the grade a dark roasted TGY which I'll be picking up from my post office after work today. But I almost got the black & gold yunnan and the keemun hao ya A.Did you get any black tea from Steve? What kinds?
