I had Bramah LP which is very tarry and I actually like it The other one is Rituals production called Oriental mist which is a subtle variation on LP that has bergamot oil and mixed with darjeeling? That is a variation that I like less
I noticed that smokers enjoy LP
Re: Has anybody had any lapsong souchong
I read somewhere that is smoked over cedar as well... Anyone know something of it? Is there a noticable taste difference?jashnew wrote:Has anybody ever tasted Lapsong Souchong. Its definitely an acquired taste. Its's rosted over pine needles/wood. The initial taste is very smokey but the after taste becomes sweet. I'm wondering if anybody out there likes Lapsong Souchong.

Same with me! Also, i love a good Russian Caravan for smokiness. Personally, I'm really not wrapped on Lapsang. I've only ever had one pot of it at a tea house and *ugh* I really hoped the flavour would be different to the smell...Alas, it was not. One of the least enjoyable teas I've had to be perfectly honest.CynTEAa wrote:for smoky i like a nice keemun, especially on a wintry day!
ooh, Mary, that sounds good. Perhaps I will try that out.
i enjoy the smell of Lapsang Souchong- it reminds me of pig roasts and campfires, yes, but happy memories! I don't like drinking it, but I sure as hell love simmering some seitan in it and making a hot pot of sorts. Seitan+lapsang souchong+brown rice+shittake mushrooms+dash of rice vinegar+green onions+ sesame seeds.
I'm going to have some of this today, I think. I need some sort of post-turey detox.
hail seitan! muahahaha.

lapsang souchong
This is my favorite tea - smokey, tarry taste expected. A character (a mountain man, as I recall) in James Mitchener's Centennial also liked it.
I have never considered adding brandy to it, but ....
