Oh my Steepster account, I hearts you like air. And like tea. And like my LJ account. Which says a LOT. You inspire me to do experiments with long forgotten samples like today, which is loads of fun, even when largely unsuccessful in finding undiscovered diamonds. And on top of that I get to babble about each one at length which makes it even more fun. Never leave me.
Right, so I’ve made an emergency pot of Lapsang Souchong. I need it on top of all this experimenting. Especially that last one there which I think must have been the worst of the lot. (Especially because it could have been avoided if I had not stupidly decided reading the info on the package regarding contents was unnecessary)
This is a stable. This is always a great cup of tea. Smokey and rough and JUST right. Enough experiments for me. I’ll stick to this for the rest of the evening.

Yay, I’m glad you’ve finally found one you like. :)
:) You can never go wrong with Lapsang Souchong.
How are you drinking it? Plain? Sugar? Cream?
Plain most of the time. No cream ever. Cream, imo, is way too heavy for tea of any sort. Cream is for coffee. Milk, always milk, for tea. I like it with a bit of milk though, every now and then, but that’s really rare.
Interesting. I like Silk soy creamer in nearly all black teas. I like the mouth feel it adds (the heaviness, in fact). I tried it in Lapsang Souchong and didn’t know what to think.
Glad you finally ended up with a good cup of tea after the other disappointing ones!
