What's the most unusual tasting tea that you've had?

3 years ago by aika to c/tea

For me it was a blend of oolongs aged between 1989 and 1995. It tasted buttery smooth but with a hint of a very dusty attic.

Lapsang souchong. Tastes like smoke. I like it but it's not for everyone and for every day.

Thank you! I tried this at a Chinese restaurant, bought a tin, then forgot it was a thing.

I forgot the make but it was some Russian Caravan brew that was way smokier than I'd had before, was like a wet campfire in the mouth

Hmm I would probably have to say blue lotus tea, if that counts
