I had been hoping for the more traditional (in China) un -smoked Lapsong souchong style black tea that I had while there: an unsmoked, ripe peach aroma tea, with some milky flavors. The online description did not talk mention smoking so I had thought/hoped this would be what I was looking for. This tea is is *not* that style of Lapsong souchong, but the sort more well known in the West, a smokey tarry tea. If that's the style of Lapsong Souchong you are looking for, this tea will certainly fulfill your expectations and be quite enjoyable.
