Black Tea by Custom-Adagio Teas
Created by: Cara McGee
A worldly blend, based off of Russian tea culture. A strong, smokey tea perfect for a busy spy.
Ingredients:
lapsang souchong, assam melody, currant
My first foray with lapsang souchong. I was a bit nervous at first because of the smoky smell, but I made about two cups of this for a travel mug. Following some advice from a review on Adagio, I went ahead and added a bit of milk and half a teaspoon of sugar.
The smell was wonderful, smokey and with a hit of spicy. I didn’t taste it as much when I actually drank it, but that might have been the milk dampening it. Still, quite pleased!
This tastes to me exactly like my Russian Caravan blend. Very delicious, mild on the tannins and tastes like wood smoke.
