Organic Lapsang Souchong Tea, Loose Leaf Smoked Black Tea, Caffeine, Smoky Lapsang, Culinary Grade Smoked Tea for Cooking | 8oz Bulk Tea, 80-100 Cups | The Spice Hut, First Sip of Tea

DELICIOUS!! A wonderful, romantic interpretation of the elusive Russian Caravan tea. A new standard has been established. Well done Spice Hut!

I was skeptical as someone who doesn't like any flavored waters and typically only black tea unsweetened; I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this. It's enough flavor to taste but it is not overwhelming and doesn't leave an after taste like a lot of "flavored" teas do. Definitely will be buying more.

Several years ago, I blindly took a chance to try out a Earl Grey de la Creme from TJ and absolutely loved it. Mistake 1 - I did not go back to get a few more bags and ever since then, they stop carrying it.So, for the last few years, besides hoping TJ would re-stock this tea, I've been on the "hunt" to find a replacement because I'm a big tea drinker. So far, it's been hugely unsuccessful! I've spent numerous money on trying different tea online from all over but couldn't find anything close to what I love.This one is by far the closet to what I love, not quite, but quite close to what I love.What I do not enjoy is the price point!

I switched my Kambaa brand from the one I've purchased in the past at The English Tea Store (TETS) online. I did so because Kambaa comes from (or should) Kenya, but TETS is sourced from China. My hunt for true Kenyan Kambaa led me here. The quality seems good from a visual perspective. It brews cloudier than my TETS Kamba. I don't think it's as malty and smooth as TETS, though. There's an astringency here that some may like, but it's a little unpleasant and distracting to my palate. This, despite varying the steeping time. For those unfamiliar with Kambaa, it is a very strong black tea that looks more like Nescafe than leaves. It brews a reddish brown cup of slightly floral, slightly metallic, and malty tea. I can't drink it without milk and a little sugar. It's a pretty big hit of caffeine, the tea I drink when I want or need a break from coffee. Recommended, but consider alternatives if this isn't quite to your liking.

Had a great taste very rich

This tea had virtually no aroma, negligible flavor, and after steeping for a full five mins, barely colored. Whether it was old (despite printed date) or low-quality tea, it certainly wasn’t full-bodied. Feh.

Just recently started using loose tea, and this is delicious. I had a similar tea at a restaurant, and was trying to find that one, but this one was almost an exact match. I love to drink it when I am craving sweets, it’s perfect!

Ever since Peets stopped selling their own line of teas, I have searched in vain for a replacement of my beloved-but-no-longer-available Russian Caravan blend. My search lasted a decade, but now is over! This vendor is selling a POUND of beautiful Russian Caravan for about what 8 ounces once cost in Peets now-defunct tea lineup. Thus strong black tea blends perfectly with a little bit of cane sugar.

Difficult to describe. Almost a plastic-like taste that came with the taste of the tea. It still made a pot of tea you could drink but I won't be purchasing again.

Really like the combination of flavours!
