I'm not much of a tea drinker......I have a cup every week or so, but I came across a description of this tea in a book I reading a while ago (Centennial - J.A. Michener). It sounded good, and I was pleased to find that it was not a fictional creation.......but not surprised (Michener fans will understand).

So I ordered some.

It's good. It is dried over a pine fire and has a real smoky taste; not unlike Scotch whiskey. When you sip it, you really know you are "drinking something".

For those who like to pair drinks with cigars, I think this would be excellent.

Oh ****......I can't believe I posted about fancy tea.

Please disregard.

I live with all women you know.

Its ok to have a homo moment every now and then ya ****

^ provided it doesn't leave you coughing on pubes.

very good point

I worked at a coffee/tea house in college. The Lapsang Souchong is extremely pungent. We called it 'burning clutch' tea.

It tastes way better than it smells.

^ I just have my wife highlight the parts about fighting, sex, drinking, and food.

That's better. Now pour that tea out and get a beer.

Dirty hippie.

i live in japan. drinking tea is not gay...posting about it, though.......

^have you tried this stuff Brian?

From what I understand, there are grades that are SO smoky that they are almost undrinkable.

I want to buy some of THAT kind!

this weekend, i am going into town. there are a couple of tea shops that have over 100 kinds of tea (each). i can check them out, but i am sure i will not find the too smokey to drink. in essence, japanese people are weak. they favor subtle flavors.

but they do drink some funky stuff. white tea has quite a kick (though it is from China). and some other funky chinese tea that stinks. the first time, it is a bit putrid, but it grows on you...no idea why i let it grow on me...but i like it.

The kind I have is not "mild", but there are smokier versions available. I just ordered some to try.

cannot wait to read the review!

^Oh...I'm no tea mogul......but I like it, and this stuff tastes like Scotch.

BTW........what is the name of the putrid stink-tea?

(sounds good)

Andy.

Sit back and have a beer, maybe your testicles will show up again soon.
