Origin- China
Tasting Notes- Sweet smoked pine flavor with notes of stone fruit and spice.
Steeping Recommendations- 1 teaspoon per 8oz, 212 degrees, 3-5 minutes. Takes milk and sugar well.
Company description not available.
i ran a 50k race on saturday. my legs are still very sore. especially my right leg.
i’m just saying, that’s why i haven’t commented much. sometimes i read your discussions and want to get involved, but i’m just kinda too busy to take a break.
i’m gonna have to start focusing on training more too. which means i won’t really be able to use steepster as much as i want to. which is a bummer.
did i mention that i have 100 tea samples to try?!?!
2 more swaps came in the mail over the past few days.
whew that’s a lot of yummy.
i love lapsang. and carytown teas has consistently great teas.
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.
Flavors: Campfire, Fireplace, Salty, Smoked, Smooth, Umami, Whiskey, Wood
Congrats on the 50K! That’s far!!
Woohoo! Congratulations on the run!
I’m just gonna throw it out there – 50k, that’s ridiculous! Congrats!
That’s a ridiculous amount of running. I can’t even walk properly these days, even short distances, because of the tendons on my ankles, so props.
Wow, 50k! I’m so envious! I hope the race was enjoyable for you :D
I badly need to get back into running, for the exercise and stress relief. A half-marathon is still on my goal list for 2013… totally doable if I actually manage to start training in the near future :)
thanks for the encouragement guys! i’m so fond of my steepster friends that it means a lot a lot.
i’m also currently obsessing about signing up for a few more races before the season is up and they all sell out . it’s definitely all about the stress relief for me. and being in the woods. that is the best.
Wow, you’re amazing dude! I try to run 5 minutes and get tired, haha. Not a runner, clearly. 50k is astounding, you must be proud of yourself :)
