China Lapsang Souchong from Happy Lucky's Tea House
81

I was definitely a little nervous about this tea at first. From what I’ve read of Lapsang Souchongs, you either love or hate them. When I opened this wonderful sample from Bonnie, it smelled like a bag full of smoked meat. While that sounds delicious, I was a bit hesitant for it as a tea flavor. Turns out, I really like the smokiness! I think it would have thrown me off if I hadn’t been expecting it, but this is very good! When I was eight, my grandmother’s house was still heated by burning wood, and this feels like being with my grandmother again. I feel like she should be here, sneaking me cookies when my dad isn’t looking :)

It left an after taste like I just ate a steak. I feel like this would be a good way to get Texans to move from all of their iced lipton to loose leaf tea. Steak tea would definitely appeal lol

You understand. My grandkids call this The Memory Tea.

I really like this, and I doubt I would have been brave enough to try it on my own. Thanks :) And I think Memory Tea is extremely fitting.

Bio

I’m a premed student at a university near Austin. I’ve recently started getting very much into tea, but I’m still learning. I’ve lived in Hawaii, Mississippi, Colorado, Maryland, and California, and each place has it’s own charm, but Colorado was definitely my favorite place. I also knit quite a bit and sell things on my etsy when I’m not busy with school.
