Lapsang Souchong Star (organic) from DAVIDsTEA

MaddHatter drank Lapsang Souchong Star (organic) by DAVIDsTEA

Ummm…. EWWW!

I had to plug my nose to actually drink this! it smelled great, like kindling and hot dogs (don’t ask where the hot dogs came from) but it was terrible! Most certainly NOT a tea I will buy more of! Thank-fully I did not break the bank with this one at a mere 10g it was only $2 worth of tea.

This is a tea I keep in stock, but don’t drink. I do use it in my cooking, though. Any time I need a smoky bacony flavor or a substitute for beef stock.

Oh… That could work. I was a little shocked when the girl at DAVIDs was quick to tell me she thought I smelled like “death in a bag” – ummm, I hope no one was listening…

Geeze…There’s a difference between an honest opinion and insulting the company you work for.

Oh I know, I think the look on my face said it all.

hahaha I should have used that in my resume. "I will never compare one of your teas to “death in a bag”."

ROFL, yes! When in doubt I will use what is written on the label to sell the tea. “Do you enjoy a good cigar? How about well aged whisky?” … “Well, may I suggest this tea?”

Bio

I love to read and what goes better with reading than a hot cup of tea on rainy winter nights and an ice-cold tea on a hot summers day?

I used to drink copious amounts of coffee but that was just a joke, because I never drank enough water to flush out that one cup of coffee (32oz of water to 8oz of coffee?!?) and the variety in tea gives me what I need – it is not often I will drink the same thing twice.

Tea is defiantly more gentle on the waistline… Espcially since when I crave apple pie I can reach for a cup of “Mom’s Apple pie” or if I want caramel corn for my movie night, I just have to brew a cup of “Movie Night”…

I definitely have a preference for Oolongs, flavoured Blacks and a select number of flavoured Rooibos.

I love you tea, this can only get better as the extra weight continues to tapper off!

Oh, did I mention I am a reader, a childcare worker, a teacher, a friend, a sister and so many other things in a day?
