So...what brand would you recommend trying? I would love to get some again this autumn, but I feel like there's a giant range in the teas available out there. <BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/>+Jessie<BR/>a.k.a.

Until that time, "tea" meant a cup of Constant Comment peppermint. I was studying in London when a classmate cheekily offered me--the naive American--"a cuppa." <BR/><BR/>"Shock" is what I associate with my first sip of Lapsang Souchong. Now that I am a bit older and (hopefully) more sophisticated, I can savor the flavor. It still makes me smile, though, remembering how I sputtered over that first cup!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16886857050957645040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-75904328234358625062008-09-19T13:29:00.000-04:002008-09-19T13:29:00.000-04:00I've had this and agree it is wonderful stuff... b...I've had this and agree it is wonderful stuff... but just as good are your memories here... thank you for sharing!sjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13167684222773223886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-57704544953035693552008-09-17T13:38:00.000-04:002008-09-17T13:38:00.000-04:00Yes sir Dave!

I love that stuff! My next trial is to find a way to cook with the smokey tea somehow! I know there is something out there awaiting some of that brewed tea in a culinary preparation. <BR/><BR/>Your fond memories of leaf burning fires and clear crisp blue sky days are so nice.
