Due to some challenges with sourcing the blend, we recently made the difficult decision to delist our Lapsang Souchong product and have now sold through all our remaining stock.
As we know how much our customers love a smoky tea, our Master Blenders have used their fine blending skills to curate a new blend of teas from around the world, including China and India, to give you an alternative to smoked tea but provide the same smoky flavour.
“In no way whatsoever does this taste anything near to Lapsang Souchong. It tastes like ditch/dish water. I really do hope the original Lapsang Souchong returns quickly. I have thrown the, distinctively smoky, in the rubbish bin.”
“I have been a great fan of Twining's Lapsang Souchong tea bags for many years.
No longer able to find them, I bought several pckets of your "Distinctely Smoky" black tea...inspired by Lapsang Souchong" instead. They're nothing like the same thing, with a much less delicate flavour. In fact, after a few cups, I've lost interest in them and may throw the rest away.”
“The Distinctively Smoky was sent as a substitute for the discontinued Lapsang Souchong. Unfortunately, it is nothing at all like the Lapsang and I won't be ordering it again. Let me know if the Lapsang problems are ever sorted out.”
