" Tea is nostalgic for me so Great Wall’s Lapsang takes me back to childhood adventures with its campfire aroma. The smokiness of this tea isn’t for everyone but I love it! The flavour is earthy, but not dirty, and can have a touch of fruity (almost date-like) in the palate. Like when you were a kid and you gathered pine needles and leaves to make imaginary tea... but this time it works out to be delicious. I have it with cream or milk and occasionally a small spoon of honey if I over- steep." SJ, customer since 2010
