While I haven't tried it, I read somewhere that the unsmoked Lapsang Souhong is the original, and it's made with small leaves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05030699896874887653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896101085985164789.post-79979005184879400662016-03-16T19:51:50.408-07:002016-03-16T19:51:50.408-07:00I don't cold brew tea much, but I had left tha...I don't cold brew tea much, but I had left that Jin Jun Mei to cold brew in the refrigerator yesterday after it didn't seem finished when drinking it at breakfast. It was definitely unconventional, really soft, with most of the characteristic taste intact even though it was the last of what that tea had left.

Curious to try it. Would you consider doing a cold brew of it? From the flavors you describe it seems it might turn out well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18392696807181493055noreply@blogger.com
