I decided to give this tea a try after a signature blend was reviewed on adagioteaV that contained it. I looked it up and the story intrigued me so I ordered a sample of it. When I opened the tin I was immediately taken to a place that I have never actually visited, but could see so clearly in my mind. I was in a smoke shack surrounded by wild game of all kinds and outside there was a camp fire burning. This is not my favorite tea by any means, but it is so different that it makes a great “check this out” sample. I can’t wait to get a hold of some of my dad’s deer jerky and drinking this with it. Great anytime I want to feel like an outdoorsman.
Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C
4 min, 30 sec
occasionally I’ll mix it with whiskey, try it sometime
warm or do you chill the tea?
i’ll usually do it warm. Its great side by side as well. Especially with a good bourbon, the smokey characteristic of lapsang really compliments it well. Great thing about being a tea drinker is we have a great variety at our disposal.
