Jiaotang Non-Smoked Lapsang Souchong

When drinking black tea, you don't normally associate its flavor profile with anything like "sweet caramel." But that's exactly what you get from this tea.

Using boiling water will bring out the most flavor from this tea. You should expect a sweet caramel, some smokiness, and a little maltiness when it's brewed properly. You should be able to get at least four good brews with this black tea, which is amazing since most black teas are only good for three brews.

If you have a sweet tooth and don't want to have the guilt of taking sugar in your tea, then this tea is the perfect tea for you!  

At the first sip, you immediately detect a caramel-candy taste with a hint of smokiness. There is a fresh feeling in the aftertaste. The color of the liquor is clear with vibrant caramel color. The aroma of the tea is sweet, soothing, and comforting. When you first sip this tea, you'll enjoy a satisfying treat, almost like drinking a hot caramel latte.

This tea is great to have all day. It's great as a morning pick-me-up tea, but also nice as a relaxing after dinner tea. The natural sweetness is an enticement for crowds who don't much appreciate the flavor of a tea.
