This tea is very tasty...clearly tea but with a light smokey taste.....very nice.

Some Lapsang Souchong are overpoweringly "tarry" and aren't nice but this one is very tasty...clearly tea but with a light smokey taste.....very nice.

The loose tea was disappointing and did not have the flavour of lapsang which I have been enjoying

The loose tea was disappointing and did not have the flavour of lapsang which I have been enjoying all my life 70+ years. I have bought your tea bags and these are very good.

Did I get sent some old stock?

Shall I return them for you to do a stock control?

I would like some loose leaf lapsang if you could guarantee it was good quality as your tea bags

Thank you kind regards Claire Bertschinger

Hi Claire,
Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you did not have a positive experience with the loose leaf Lapsang. I can assure you it is the exact same tea that we have in the teabags you love, so would love to hear more about your lapsang and figure out where things have gone wrong there! Please give us a call on 01962 868760 when you are able to.
Kind regards,
Nina

It's delicious!! I love it and have ordered/bought it many times from you. Please produce a tin caddy, especially for this wonderful tea - I am always envious of the other teas having their own!
