Backlog from yesterday:
My daughter surprised me with this tea for Author’s Day! I was very surprised to find that it wasn’t in the database yet, but she says it is a newer blend that hasn’t been out long.
As I expected, this is mostly lapsang, and I enjoy lapsang. Although the description says there is whisky flavor, I am not getting much of that. I would say there is light cherry here, and I definitely pick up on the hibiscus.
Ashman does not like Lapsang tea at all, but he insisted that he wanted to try it so I made a big enough pot for the two of us to share. He did say that when there is smoke, he just doesn’t taste anything else, but he did finish a cup or two of it.
Next time I have it, I want to try it with a little maple syrup and see if that brings out the whisky flavor. I think it might!
This will be sipped tomorrow during work! I’ve a sample in my cabinet that I’ve been sitting on for a few weeks. :)
I can’t wait to see what you think of it!
