I know I have reviewed this before. We are on our third tin of it, yet it isn’t even showing up in my cupboard. Maybe a steepster glitch?
Anyway, I haven’t had much tea lately because the rebound reflux came back with a vengeance and was destroying my esophagus. Today went well, though, so I took a chance. Home flaked oats with maple syrup for breakfast and water to drink, apple slices and Gouda and home baked bread with butter for lunch.
Youngest and I were reading a detective novel (thank you, GMathis, we now have five of the Barker and Llewelyn series!) and a gentlemen’s club was described as having the scent of exotic spices and pipe tobacco. I struck an incense match and made a pot of Lapsang to go with the story so we could enhance the feeling of being right there with them.
Oh my goodness, this is why I have bought three tins of this in less than a year. The liquor is pretty pale but the flavor is oh so good. This is a bacon-y sort of Lapsang if you dare to dip anything in it, a sweet smoke flavor. Good golly it was good, and we made two pots. Finished the novel, too, and the ending was quite satisfying. The dog lived, Mr. Llewelyn recovers, and the bad guy dies without anybody having to knock him off.

You should try some shou at night. It has worked wonders on my reflux.
I think that you probably know this, but Lapsang Souchang was Shelock’s tea of choice.
mrmopar: I was drinking cold Puerh and cold chamomile when I first started this and I need to make more and have it handy. For the first week or two it was the only tea I could drink without feeling the burn. Other teas burned even when I just thought about them. Thanks for the reminder. I will get a pitcher made!
Daylon: Indeed, we were aware! I very nearly ordered a new batch of Baker Street Blend and Black Dragon from Upton last night, but then I reminded myself that we are trying to get the cupboard DOWN, not up! But I expect we will be getting some soon. I often buy it in the fall when school starts back for youngest, who lives on the stuff.
Drinking shou puerh as it’s the least ‘raw’ of all teas. Perhaps rinsing it twice and steeping it at hot as possible helps as well.
Teasenz: we are definitely going to increase our consumption of shou pu!
