What is your favourite type of tea?
Right now, it is 4 in the morning here in New Zealand, and my mouth tastes like an ashtray. Why does it taste like that, and for what reason am I up this early?
Easy, Lapsang Souchong.
This is the strongest tea I've ever tasted. It tastes like an over-powering cigar, and as you swallow it the inside of your cheeks stick to your teeth and your whole mouth is covered in some sort of foul slime.
Yes, I make it a little stronger than it is supposed to be by using multiple tea strainers, but damn is it good. I've had a few mugs, and I just can't get to sleep anymore.
So, what tea do you drink? Anyone else like Lapsang souchong? I just ordered some new tea, and among my selection is "Lapsang souchong superior". Apparently it is even stronger, so here's hoping.
