Beef Jerky!

That is totally what this tea reminds me of in both taste and fragrance. One of my friends describes Lapsang Souchons thusly: “Smells like beef jerky, tastes like tires.” I have to agree with the smell part but you know, I LIKE beef jerky. Quite a lot actually! My favorite is hickory smoked with teriyaki-glazed coming in close second.

When I saw BEEF JERKY I thought you were playing along with our Song Challenge. YEARS ago I heard a rare B-Side Recording from John & Yoko called Beef Jerky! LOL – It was mostly instrumental and in the middle of the song they were chanting…BEEF JERKY…BEEF JERKY…BEEF JERKY.

Ironically, I think this is funny because John Lennon was a vegetarian and so am I yet he was singing about it and I got a chuckle out of it! LOL

Is that the one that was wrapped in brown paper? I think we have that somewhere…

Profile

Bio

I have loved tea for quite some time but have only gotten into loose leaf teas in the last two years or so. About the only flavor I will not drink is anise/licorice.

I almost always put sugar in my tea. I rarely use honey. Many black teas (and all chai) usually gets a little milk added as well.

Blue Tetsubin – 12oz * This is my usual pot. I can fill my blue & white china cup (4oz) three times.

Green Tetsubin – 10oz * I usually use this with my pink Koran china cup & saucer set. I can fill one of those cups three times.

Yixing Pot – 6oz * Dedicated to dark oolongs. I usually decant the tea into a (6oz) paisley cup.
