What are you drinking?

I've always enjoyed Twining's Queen Mary Blend with it's hint of Lapsang.

Artichoke tea?  That's just wrong....

I'm drinking some decent-but-not-great Assam tea that's been in my office for a while and is probably getting stale.   

I have a bag of loose leaf Keemun in my office drawer. Is it in danger of getting stale? I tend to forget it's there

Enjoyed two cuppas today from these:

This last evening (Wednesday, Nov 14) I drank just water and Diet Cherry Seven-Up.

A nice hot cup of Coffee.

How I long for a nice cup of real tea and not this pathetic bagged crap. That orange blossom tea sounds great.

Hot Chocolate

Unfortunately it probably isn't to be found in my supermarket. I've seen Lapsang in the supermarkets in Orlando, though.

Camomile and rooibos tea. I rarely drink any other kind these days. 0:)

right now some Ethiopian coffee from my French press

yesterday got a bottle of Bowmore Legend, a $20 Islay single malt.  Nice change from Bourbon, although I do no see myself drinking the stuff regularly

The Bowmore is a fine malt...
Best to drink it not too often, that way is stays special....
One of my favourite malts!

Lapsang Souchong has a way of putting things right for me. A crazy week becomes just a dim memory after a good cup of LS.

I also put a few leaves in the rice when I cook it. Gives it a superb flavour.

I love it as well.  I'm going to try and use some for flavoring an asian flavored bacon I've been thinking up. 

There doesn't seem to be very much middle ground when it comes to liking or disliking it though.  My wife hates it.  She thinkgs it tastes like smokey sweat socks and sticks.

Yep, love those smoky, earthy, extremely pungent teas like Lapsang and Pu-Erh.

I like Lapsang but usually blended with another tea to cut the smokiness a bit.  One of my favorite blends, Baker Street Afternoon Blend, is Lapsang, Keemun and Darjeeling.  I really wish I had Lapsang now, it would be perfect today.    I tried some Pu-Erh once (still have it I think, maybe I'll try it again) but it didn't do much for me.   

Right now I'm drinking Columbian-something-or-other coffee from Starbucks.

My son took to Pu-Erh at once. Just as Lapsang haters describe it as bottom-of-the-laundry-cart dirty socks, Pu-Erh is likened to a biteful of earth. It has strong hints of humus and mushroom. Another very characterful infusion.

[Great Gable]

This...(whenever I get the chance)

[Kullervo]

It has strong hints of humus and mushroom.

Yes, that is its charm!

That must be why I didn't like it, I can't stand mushrooms.
