I’ve made a tough decision about a few samples I had lying around this morning. I didn’t like them much and I wasn’t likely to ever get around to finishing them off. So I finally got rid of them. It was a hard decision but it felt good and freeing to do it.
I need something to pick me up again after this, and as I have this morning caught up with the follow list, I’m letting myself be inspired by those who had smokies lately. I had almost forgotten I had this nice little Lapsang in my possession and when I opened the tin and saw how full it was I went O.O and then :D
Yummm the smoke fills my nostrils and make them prickle almost as if I was about to sneeze and the aftertaste lingers in my mouth as if I’ve just bitten burnt toast. And yes, these are good qualities.
This newer steeping pattern of mine has brought out the sweet note a little more, I think. There is also a smoothness underneath the smoky prickly that wasn’t as pronounced before. At least not that I remember.
It’s just right.
