drank Lapsang Souchong by Carytown Teas
24 tasting notes

This is one of my favorite teas. I have it with a sprinkle of Himalayan pink salt and it is a perfect savory treat. I grew up having fires every night or two in our backyard, where friends would come over and we would all share our lives around the fire ( we even had extra “fire coats” for last minute drop in guests if they got chilly). The smokiness of this tea takes me back and reminds me of my family. It is like a warm hug. Of all of the Lapsang Souchongs I’ve tried, this is the best. I have many other Carytown Teas and find them to be of high quality. The fact that they are organic and fair trade are important to me as well. Everyone should give this tea a try!! I only dock 2 points because although the taste is strong, I could have it stronger.

Bio

I’m not really good at describing myself but I’ll try :) I’m 33, married to an awesome guy and mother to a rescue beagle. I’m trained in the teaching/ youth work vein and love to volunteer. I’m a nature lover and also love to garden – growing flowers, food and herbs organically. Nativescaping. I love to be creative and am always trying something new – right now I’m crocheting, cross-stitching, cutting bottles and turning them in to candles, watercolor painting and making fairy gardens. I’ve loved tea my whole life, and have always been a leaf over bean person.

Tea Likes : I am a big fan of fruit/vegetable herbal and medicinal tisanes. I actually make alot of medicinal tisanes from my garden. Love savory teas. I heart rooibos as well, it has such a beautiful well-rounded flavor that never becomes bitter and has an inherent sweetness – nothing need be added. I am also a massive spice fan – things can never be too spicy for me (and are often not enough so). I usually drink 4-6 cups of tea per day.I love unusual and earthy flavors. I will try anything, and don’t do sugar or dairy but sometimes will add unsweetened coconut, almond or cashew milk.

I only log a tea once, even if I drink it all the time.

Since I am reviewing two different kinds of tea on here, pleasure teas and medicinal teas, I will not be using a regular scale. A medicinal tea may not taste great but may work extremely well. I will do my best to convey my opinions of the teas I try for the benefit of those who are interested.

I am a big believer in snail mail and would be up for trades / sample sharing. If you see anything in my cupboard you would like to try, shoot me a message :)
