I used to enjoy a cup of Lapsang Souchong because of the deep, dark, smoky taste until I found out a former co-worker was ‘bothered’ by the ‘campfire’ smell so I then started drinking it to irritate them in retaliation for irritating me at work! Too bad that individual didn’t still ‘grace us with their presence’ here at the office because this one would REALLY set them off! I’m talking about Lapsang Souchong from Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co.
What to do with a difficult co-worker? Sororitea Sister Tip #45521…”Kill them with kindness AND tease them with tea”. Lapsang Souchong from Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co. is a great tea to tease with that is for sure!
This specific cuppa of LS is made up of Kent & Sussex’s Lapsang Souchong tea fannings and generously filled inside one of their teabags. I have to say that Lapsang Souchong from Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co. is the BEST Lapsang Souchong I have had IN a bag to date! It’s strong, aromatic, flavorful, and of top quality (especially for fannings!)
Lapsang Souchong from Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co. is taken from their 2015 Harvest. This company is quickly becoming one of my overall favorite companies! I’m curious about their other FIVE (count them, FIVE) Loose Leaf Lapsang Souchong Teas with neat names like Falcon, Crocodile, Osprey, Leopard, and Tiger (following the Lapsang Souchong) type on each label. Maybe we will be lucky enough to try them in the coming months! I know I – for one – would LOVE that!
Lapsang Souchong from Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co. is VERY impressive and I give it 2 MUGS up!

Santa Berry Tea from Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co.
Now THIS is a fruit flavored black tea I can get behind! Oh! Maybe that is because it doesn’t have hibiscus in it! Santa Berry Tea from Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co, that is!
Santa Berry Tea from Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co smells like fruity candy straight out of the bag! I think it is the fruity combo of orange, cranberry, strawberry, and raspberry. It’s truly a delight!
Once infused the cranberry is the more intense of the fruit to awaken the nose and tongue! The cardamom provides a hint of spice which is nice. The strawberry and raspberry seem to fuse together and that glorious orange peel MUST be from that same orange the company uses in their Orange Cookie Black Tea that I am a bit obsessed with lately! Santa Berry Tea from Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co is really something special! Of course, I am partial because it doesn’t contain hibiscus! That in itself deserves two thumbs up! But I’m genuinely stoked about the flavor of this tea! It’s great!
