A Hug in a Mug
I'm easily influenced by television, lol. As a huge fan of The Mentalist, I noticed that Patrick Jane would often order lapsang souchon. As a tea drinker myself I was curious as to what kind of tea it was and I ordered a box. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. This is definitely a hug in a mug. When I first received the package I just smelled it. It smells very earthy and very fragrant. The smokiness of the leaves is very apparent. Upon my first cup I fell in love with it. This is a tea drinker's tea. It's seductive and unique. The smoked leaves are not just in the smell. This is something sophisticated and complex, yet at the same time refreshing and comfortable. This isn't just tea; it's a little break from the stresses of the day. I'll certainly be buying more of this.
