Yer. Smokey like fifty grams of Old Holburn. The queerest tea I’ve ever had, yet strangely refreshing. :lol:
Lapsang Souchong
Perhaps the most famous china tea, the best coming from the hills in north
Fujian. It is a unique large leaf tea distinguished by its smoky aroma and
flavour and tarry taste is acquired through drying over pine wood fires.The story of Lapsang Souchong is that the smoking process was discovered
by accident. An army camped in a tea factory that was full of drying leaves,
these had to be moved to accommodate the soldiers. When the soldiers left
the leaves needed to be dried quickly, so the workers lit open fires of
pinewood to speed up the drying. The tea reached the market on time and a
new flavour had been created. Today the tea is still smoked but by more
hygienic and modern methods.I knew there was a reason I’m on here…never ending bits of knowledge. :D
:lol: Stick around, Robyn. I’m full of shi… I mean I’m a fount of useless knowledge.
