Welcoming this Lunar New Year is our imagination of Singapore’s traditional favourite for the season; our latest blend No. 888, Bak Kwa.
Bak Kwa or Rougan (肉干) is a salty-sweet barbequed dried meat that is remarkably popular in Singapore & Malaysia, which is a key snack served during the Chinese festive season for family and guests. Usually goes well with tea, we now bring you Bak Kwa in a cup, minus the calories.
100% vegan, our Bak Kwa is a smoky blend of black tea, lapsangsouchong, fennel, cinnamon, black peppercorn, orange peel & safflower to render the flavour of freshly grilled sweet and succulent BBQ meat!

Company description not available.
Trying hard to enjoy this cup of tea while listening to the loud droning of an industrial sized carpet cleaner being run out of a van in the driveway of the apartment next door. There is no escape from the sound inside my house and it’s been running off and on all day. I hope the memory of irritation doesn’t imprint on this tea!
This is one of the Ette teas that I like the most, but it is predominantly a lapsang. There is a little more nuance to it than a plain lapsang, but not by much. I do get a barbeque flavor from it, likely do to the pepper and spice, but I’m not getting orange peel in there. Either way, totally drinkable.
Sipdown 100-2021
Woot! Finally got to my 100th sipdown for the year. I was hoping to be to this point about a month ago, but better late than never.
This was a generous share from Dustin, thank you!
It smells super smoky. Like BBQ smoky. However, the smoky flavor is much more muted than I would have assumed. It’s still quite strong, but not as intense as the scent would lead one to believe. Other than the smokiness, I’m getting a bit of…vanilla? Something soft and sweet. I can’t really make the flavors out over the smoke.
