This is a backlog from last night. I had this last night, in spite of the fact that I wasn’t really in a Lapsang mood. It was, however, the most Anti-Valentine-y thing I could find in my stock. I don’t like Valentine’s Day. I didn’t like it when I was single, I don’t particularly like it now when I’m not. It’s a silly imported holiday that shops and what-not are trying to ram down our throats so that they can sell more stuff. We haven’t HAD that tradition here at all other than in the last 20 years or so, and the vast majority of danish people either don’t bother with it or they only go along with it because their partner likes it. I could give a similar rant on Halloween actually. Children dress up and go around other people’s houses begging for candy. We already HAVE that sort of a tradition in february, we do NOT need one more, thank you very much.

Anyway, in order to avoid anything that could even remotely be considered borderline semi-lovey-dovey, anything fruit flavoured, anything floral and anything even remotely delicate in flavour and preparation was beyond reach.

I really do quite like this Lapsang, but regardless of how many points I’ve felt it was worth and how many points I’ve decided the Lapsang from AC Perch’s is worth, I think I will still stick with Perch’s. This time it has nothing really to do with flavour (they’re both good), but the Perch’s is the one I’m more familiar with. I feel at home in that one. It’s more me than this one is.
