"True to its description. Great smokiness but it doesn't overpower the other notes from the Darjeeling and Keemum. If you're looking for a Lapsang blend, this is ideal." April Peavey

"Agreed: beautifully balanced, with a pleasant light body, smooth blending, and satisfying smokiness, Baker St. Afternoon is a tea to crave, as perfect in the late night or morning as the afternoon. Can convert non-Lapsang drinkers. A great value." kelley e arndt
