“Exceeding disappointing product. Not a patch on Lapsang. Even trying 2 bags in a cup failed to get any flavour. Just coloured water and a waste of time. Can't believe this passed any taste test prior to market.”
“Completely revolting!! WHY Twinings, WHY, would you take a perfectly good delicious product and replace it with this total nonsense. Disgusting. Threw my cup away. Bring back Lapsang Suchong!!”
“I'm not a fan of 1 star reviews and usually find them a little extreme - but what else to put to such rubbish! Twinings is meant to represent a certain standard of tea, but this is terrible! For those looking for some semblance of Lapsang normality, it seems that Taylors of Harrogate has a version that suffices, (though slightly more pricey and slightly less good than the old Twinings Lapsang, but a supplement for now).”
“It has a fishy sea aroma, and completely agree with the review that says it tastes like chemical bacon bits - what on earth happened to the normal delicious Lapsang which I'd drink every afternoon”
“This is really disappointing. Tastes like someone left a salami in hot water. I can’t drink it. I tried one cup and will bin the two boxes I bought. Honestly disgusting. Made to look like a legit replacement for the lapsing that’s been discontinued. It’s really not.”
“This has a very unpleasant aroma and taste. It is not remotely similar to Lapsang Souchong, which was so smooth and refreshing. This tastes artificial and bitter, I will not be buying this again. I have been buying Twinings Lapsang Souchong for over 25 years and I am so disappointed that it has been discontinued. Please bring it back.”
