Lapsang is a potato vodka-based cocktail with a predominantly smokey flavour and a hint of Yuzu citrus aroma. The Lapsang Souchong tea introduces a smoking aroma, which can be compared to some Scotch malt whiskies. If you are unfamiliar with this tea, I suggest trying it; you will love or hate it; there is no middle option.
Here is a link to some more information regarding the Lapsang Souchong tea.
