November Sipdown Challenge Prompt – a smoky tea

Sample sipdown This came from Michelle, so many thanks to you!

I was surprised to see that I have had this one before. In addition to having some Lapsangs in swaps, I ordered a lot of samples from Upton many years ago when I was purchasing Black Dragon and Baker Street.

This was really nice today. Ashman doesn’t like Lapsang or even tea with natural smoky notes so I had this all to myself.

This is very smoky – he would have called it camp fire instead of smoked meat. The nice thing about this one is the base. It has a little more heft behind the smoke. Black Dragon was good, but over time I began to feel that the base was too thin on that one for me.

Thank you, Michelle!

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.
