Lapsang Souchong Black Dragon (ZS90) from Upton Tea Imports

My bestie of 26 years came over for lunch today. I made stuffed baked potatoes with sour cream, sautéed onion, cheddar cheese, and bacon. For dessert we had fresh Snickerdoodles and Lapsang souchong. It was very yummy on this gray, rainy day! My bestie loves puerh, and she liked this, her first Lapsang, but she said it isn’t one she feels she must purchase. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that she craves it later, though. That is how Lapsangs worked on me and on my youngest daughter. They sneak up on you!

It took a while before I came around to Lapsang Souchong, now, I enjoy them well enough, but, I wouldn’t call them a favorite.

The lunch sounds really yummy… I want snickerdoodles now!

I was terrified of them! My parents were smokers, though my dad quit when I was a even, and I hated the smell of the smoke and ashtrays, which I had to clean. Bleh. So it turned me against Lapsang for a long time. Now I find that most of them remind me of either campfire or bacon, though one or two smell like ashtray. I don’t like those, but youngest does.

Bio

I am a music teacher and homeschooling mom who started drinking loose leaf tea about four years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
