I like minty teas. I like smokey teas. I love this minty smokey tea!
I must admit that the first time I made it I over steeped by two minutes, and the lapsang souchong overwhelmed the mint. The next cup I watched with greater care, and the result was a delightfully minty tea with plenty of smokey notes. The mix of smoke and mint is delicious, and the tea has a very smooth quality that makes me want to continue to sip and enjoy. This is the tea I’ll have in my mug the next time it snows. Sipping on a cup of this while tucked under blankets and watching the snow fall is my idea of winter perfection. (Note that my idea of a perfect winter involves not going outside!)
Glad you’re enjoying this, Veronica! :)
It’s great, and the multiple infusions make it that much better. Now I have my eye on the mint chocolate chip sample you sent… :)
:) I had that one yesterday. It’s one of my absolute favorites! Enjoy! :D
