This tea is not smoky. It is very similar to Yunnan Sourcing’s Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong of Wu Yi Fujian Black tea. I think this one is the better of the two (at least comparing the 2015 from YS). It’s sweet and malty with chocolate notes.
When I was looking on Ebay for this type of tea it’s very confusing whether it’s this type of lapsang souchong or the smoky one. I like both but prefer this one. I just wonder why it’s called lapsang souchong when I thought the name “Lapsang Souchong” meant smoky?

AllanK gave me some of this http://steepster.com/teas/ebay-streetshop88/56740-organic-supreme-wuyi-lapsang-souchong-golden-bud-zheng-shan-xiao-zhong-black-tea
and it wasn’t smokey… yet it was wonderful :)
I saw your review on that tea but it might not be the exact same tea. I think your tea had golden tips in it.
