Looooove! such love for this tea.
It’s not harsh or biting at all, like so many other versions I’ve tried. The smokiness in a Lapsang tends to give it a scratchy sensation but not here, thankfully!
I added a bit of agave(maybe 1/2 tspn) this time around and it’s really picked up on the sweet note. I’m getting alot more marshmallow now.
Too bad I have a headache blooming. Maybe time for a chammy after this!

I LOVE a good Lapsang Souchong and my local tea house has a good one too. My grandkids call it The Memory Tea because it reminds them of when they lived in California in the Redwoods…the smell of woodfires in the morning…and camping. I love to drink it and look outside in the Winter at the snow. (I like it anytime really) I have a version called Lion and Lamb that has popped Jasmine Flowers…like popcorn and this mellows the smokiness a little. Glad you like this brand!!! I love some of The Spice and Tea Exchange tea blends!
the memory tea, ahhh what a great name!! I usually call it campfire tea, since I very rarely get to go camping, and I didn’t go as a child haha.
Your grandchildren are lucky to have those memories :)
Sounds like you got a shipment from STE, what else was in your package?
and popping jasmine tea, I’ve never heard of that, neato!!!!
Coconut Oolong, Strawberry Chocolate Puerh!!! Dessert at my house!!!! Actually my son is coming for Pascha (Easter) and lives by a STE in San Francisco (Pier 39) so I’m having him bring me STUFF and things from Chinatown (Gaiwan) which are inexpensive there.
Oh the Jasmine…Yep dry and fluffy like popcorn…really good! I was in Happy Luckys yesterday sharing some Puerh with the guys there and they gave me some (4oz sample) of this Lion and Lamb Lapsang Souchong with the Jasmine in it…I keep picking out the dry bits…not good…but it’s so delicious dry!
Exciting!! to think you are so near an STE, I am just a tad jealous :P
I can imagine they would be quite tasty. Mmmm, reminds me of our popcorn supply downstairs!
SO NEAR …San Francisco is near to Fort Collins Colorado?!
oh right my head is not here! lol
I have a headache… the only reason I can think my fingers would type such silliness :P
You’re still a cool chick! Hope you feel betah! Caffeine helps my migraines.
heh thanks Bonnie <3
I do feel loads better after taking some meds… and a nap!
I’m looking for a new Lapsang this year-maybe I’ll check this one out.
I recommend it highly! my favourite is the second and fourth steeping. I’ve yet to make it to five.
