“What on earth did I just buy? I used to drink their lapsang souchong all day at work and home for years. Didn't touch it for a year or more - and what a shock! The new replacement is so weak and bland... totally lacking in any substance. Very different from the one it replaced.”
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.
“I can’t describe how awful these are. Some other reviewers have tried to, and basically it tastes of many things - none of them Lapsang, which it’s trying to imitate. I had to chuck them all in the bin, not only because they were undrinkable, but because the smell lingered so long. So incredibly disappointed Twinings discontinued Lapsang Souchong.”
“I think I've just discovered the one type of Twinings tea that I dislike (and quite passionately). I was hoping for a worthy successor to their excellent Lapsang Souchong, but after a single cup I'm afraid I threw out the remaining 39 bags. This situation and some of the other comments make me very curious about why LS was discontinued in the first place?”
