Cuppa Tea Anyone?

[Basher]

Not sure how many tea drinkers are out there?

One of my favourites is Lapsang Souchong

It has a wonderful smoky flavour.

I tried to replicate it by emptying a packet of loose leaf black tea onto a tray and gave the cold smoker it's first run- no pics sorry.

It turned out pretty good. This packet will last me 6 weeks or so and it's definitely something I'll refine with different teas and different woods. I won't be trying to smoke with pine. They must have different pine species in China

Pretty sure this is the tea I used for tea smoked duck once upon a time.

Me and Mrs skreef drink hot tea anytime we do Chinese or Japanese food. Sounds delicious.
