I used to be a coffee drinker. Not the hardcore black kind. More the "where's the coffee in all that cream and sugar?" kind. I've always been a tea drinker too. Over the past year my preference has swung strongly to tea.
And I always want to try different flavors and kinds, etc. Buying random tea at the Chinese grocery was a good experiment. I've tried a little of this and that else where and usually its only been mildly disapointing at the most.
Until today. I bought a flavor from Twinings that is foul. Lapsang Souchong Tea. It says "Strong Flavor" and "A Very Distinctive Smoked Character". What it should say is "smells like charcoal steeped in socks". The taste is a little icky, but mostly it is the smell. I just can't get over it. Yuck!
Lesson learned. Anyone want some stinky tea?
