Twinnings Lapsang Souchon is no longer Lapsang Souchon.
It is some smokey imposter. Probably cheaper to produce.

Interesting to see this name change. I suspect its a consequence of EU import restrictions with specific rules relating to products from China which have killed availability of ultra-smoky Lapsang Souchong in most of the western market.

You can still get it the good stuff, but you have to buy from a vendor outside the EU who also does not buy through an EU-based broker. Not too hard to find online, but not as easy as the grocery store isle.
