Another tea from Harney & Sons (the store). Had it w/ chicken wrap using their Lapsang souchong cheese). Same base tea, 2 different flavors.
When I smell the raw leaves, I can tell this isn’t your ordinary lapsang souchong. Instead of smelling like you’re standing over a camp fire, it smells like you’re in a smoke house.
The liquor is a medium dark brown with reddish tones. It doesn’t really smell like bacon, more like beef jerky.
You’ve heard of Liquid Smoke? Well this is Liquid Beef Jerky. Seriously. Like you’re drinking it thru a straw. They nailed the beef jerky, I think a name change is in order.
This isn’t personally my cup of tea, but I had to give it a 100 because of accuracy. Even though it’s more beef jerky rather than bacony, it’s definitely meaty. Maybe a little salt would bring out the bacon specific flavor more?
a 100? wow.
Yeah, they nailed it.
2nd infusion, 6 min. Nearly identical to infusion 1, just a bit weaker.
oooo bacon, YUM
3rd infusion, 7 min. The liquor is now a camel color w/ orange tints and the flavor is slightly lighter than the 2nd.
4th infusion, 8 min. The liquor is liess orange now and the flavor is much less smokey.
