Fortnum and Mason British Tea, Lapsang Souchong 125g Loose Tea in a Gift Tin Caddy (1 Pack)

Since lspsangsouching hard to Find since Covid 19 This is so far a good choice I Like mine Smokey and strong so I use more then normal good choice

This is a stonking disappointment. The smokey element is present, however, the tea flavour is flat and dusty-tasting. This brand cannot compare with MARIAGE FRÈRES or KUSMI brands. If you'd enjoy licking the soot from a fireplace, then this tea is for you. If you seek a warm, balanced Lapsang Souchong, look elsewhere.

I was hesitant to buy this given some of the other reviews, but I took a chance, and this is an excellent lapsang. My other commercial brand is the Harney & Sons and I like this one better. It tastes deeper and a little stronger. The packaging is beautiful and so it gets a spot of honor on my counter I’m developing a real fondness for these commercial lapsangs over and above the loose leaf that I have bought from online specialty retailers. I am a big fan of puerh tea, and usually go to special retailers, but I love this lapsang in a can. I’m sending a photo so that you can see the relative size of the can next to the Harney & Sons.

Long ago I introduced some friends to Lapsang Souchong Tea. I have always drunk Twinnings, however, I had a tin of Fortnum & Mason brand Lapsang which someone had given me. My friend tried it when I was out of the usual Twinnings brand, and thought it absolutely superior. A bit pricey, but a tin goes a long way. It's now my "go to" gift for his birthdays, etc. He drinks it daily. I haven't yet tried it [afraid I'll love it too, & have to start paying more for my Lapsang Souchong!].

worth quality, this is not a tea, this is poison

I cannot understand how one would send a tin box in an Amazon envelope. No wonder it gets dented... which defeats the purpose of having such a nice tin in the first place. Also the white sticker on the tin is really hard to remove and huge... isn't there a different kind of label that makes it easier to remove?? Overall 1 star as the tea is fine, but it's the tin that is all the rage.

Have not had this tea before so not certain if this is normal but it smells and tastes bad. Not eligible for return so lost $32.
