When my wife used to drink this during pregnancy I thought she was mad as I hated it, but I guess I’m more chilled now I’m firmly in fatherhood as I drink it quite often! Not my favorite tea but refreshing nonetheless and fine at any time of the day.
Preparation
My first try of this kind of tea, they say you either hate it or love it. I love it. The smoky flavor mellows when you brew it. It stays with you after you drink it, the aroma sticking around in you nose. Very smooth finish, which from what I’ve read makes a difference in these teas. If you smoke cigars, you will probably love this tea.
Preparation
Before you try this, know that we aren’t lying about this being a smokey tea. The first time you taste Lapsang it’s like you just took a bite out of a smoldering pine cigar. Secondly, try brewing it for less time and work into longer steeps; no longer than two minutes at first. Sugar and milk/cream to taste, if you are so inclined.
