“Barely worth one star. ‘Black tea with smoky flavouring’ just about sums it up. The most disgusting tea I have ever tasted. The rest of the bags have gone in the bin. How can Twinings axe the iconic Lapsang? Beats me. Baffled and disappointed.”
“Bought this thinking it was lapsang suchong. Big mistake! Twinings, what on earth are you thinking?! This tastes like it should be used for caulking ships! PLEASE bring back the old lapsang suchong.”
“What ever possessed you to change this? Twinings Lapsang is my all-time favourite, I buy several boxes at a time and drink it every day both at home and work. This is a dreadful watered-down imitation, I certainly won't be buying any more.”
“Vile. Tastes of plastic to me. The whole lot’s gone in the bin. Come on Twinings, it’s not because we don’t like change, it’s because what you’ve created is flippin’ ‘orrible! Waitrose for me until you sort it. afraid.”
“I do not want to award this product any stars at all but I can't submit this review without giving it at least one. I cannot find a word of sufficient strength to describe how disgusting this muck is or at my horror that the Lapsang that I adored has disappeared forever. Gone is the depth and the intricacy of flavours what remains is a taste something, I imagine, akin to cheap cigarette ends marinated in hard tap water, if you would like a cup of tea like that then the distinctively smoky teabags are for you. Twinnings, please consider bringing back the proper thing. I would happily pay extra for it, if costing is your motivation for the change.”
“My wife and I have drunk Twinings Lapsang daily for years, but this change in the recipe is undrinkable and we're going to have to switch to a different Lapsang brand. Tastes of slightly burnt dishwater.”
“I've consumed at least one cup of Lapsang Souchong every day for more than 20 years, which amounts to a minimum of 7300 cups of Lapsang Souching, so I feel I can speak with confidence when I say the following in response to the corporate drivel above.
>Our Master Blenders have used their fine blending skills
Blending skills that apparently don't include making a product that tastes anything like the original, or improves on it
>including China,
Which makes a mockery of the incredibly tired "sourcing difficulties" that you keep trotting out any time someone points out that your "Master Blenders" have created a product that tastes like a combination of an accident at a chemical factory and the contents of Boris Johnson's lavatory.
>reminiscent of Lapsang Souchong.
For which read: tastes nothing like it, but if you can swallow that much BS you'll be able to swallow this
>It is an alternative to smoked tea
Pushing pencils up my nose and traumatic cranial drill intrusion would also be alternatives, and would actually be more pleasant than subjecting yourself to this
>which can be enjoyed all day long.
Provided your sense of taste and smell were lost in an accident.”
