Bohea or Lapsang Souchong? (Monday, February 23, 2009)
Reviewer: William

I initially got hooked on loose leaf when I was in bed for a week with a bad cold. I had bought a half price tin of lapsang souchong at the local supermarket when they discountinued carrying loose leaf tea. The tin sat in the cupboard for weeks until I caught cold and had little else to drink. As I tried other loose leaf teas, lapsang lost it's appeal. The smokey flavor became somewhat offensive in in it's intensity. I read that bohea was the 'original lapsang' and gave it a try. It is similar to lapsang, but more subtle. I tend to prefer Chinese black teas and oolongs. The bohea in my mind has all the qualities of a good Chinese black tea with a little bit of a smokiness. Very nice.

Wonderful Black Tea (Saturday, January 31, 2009)
Reviewer: Rachel

My favorite black tea. Best with milk and sugar. Worth the extra cost. Does not produce tanic acid when left to brew too long. Produces weak tea the second time if you try to reuse leaves.

Rediscovered Bohea (Wednesday, January 21, 2009)
Reviewer: Russell Andrews

I had purchased a bag of Bohea twelve months ago, and somehow it got lost in my tea cabinet. After running low on my usual Golden Monkey,Oolongs and Green teas, I discovered a bag of unopened Bohea. I tried it and was instantly hooked. The flavor is delightful and stimulating. I have so many favorites and this one will also go on the list.

Bohea Black Tea (Sunday, March 16, 2008)
Reviewer: Clark

I like strong black teas! To me Bohea outshines them all, primarily because of its very unusual oakey flavor. The history of being one of the Boston Tea Party teas just adds to the experience.

Where has this tea been hiding? It is so smooth, full bodied and just plain GOOD! I ordered the first time after reading the description and am reordering this time because it is my newest favorite.

Reviewer: George

I bought this tea on a whim ,because I like history. I am glad I did. I am enjoying A cup as I type this. This tea has a wonderful smell and taste. I have been able to steep at least three times.

Our favorite in the organic tea sampler (Friday, January 05, 2007)
Reviewer: Katherine

We received the organic tea sampler for Christmas, and so far our favorite has been the Bohea--a nice black tea with a touch of a smoky flavor, somewhat similar to good Russian Caravans (but not STRONG smoky/ashy flavor like Lapsang Souchong). It's good both with and without milk. I think this will be one of the teas we reorder for an encore brewing!
