Just read through my old reviews of this tea and still agree with every one of them. Smells intense. Not for smoke weenies. Taste is milder, layered, and sweet. I miss you The Persimmon Tree.
Yesterday was the last of the Christmas music for another 11 months. Christmas music is brutal for a guitar and bass. I noticed even our professional level drummer was having a hard time making 12/8 timing fun.
Finished off this week, just me on guitar and one singer. She has an awesome voice. We did El Shaddai. It isn’t a Christmas song really, but fit the moment. I played fingerpick style. Our bass player is a much better guitarist than me, but when I finished, he looked at me and said that was an awesome job. Meant a lot coming from him.
Back to this tea – my wife hates it when I brew it. She can’t stand all that wonderful smoky aroma that fills the house. Mmmmm.

Are you a fan of Upton Tea’s “black dragon”?
Also, amazed anyone still remembers El Shaddai.
I have not tried black dragon but reading others reviews it sounds like a lighter tasty version. I pretty much like the whole range of smoky teas as long as it avoids ashtray.
As for the song, you know there are thousands of new ones written every year, but only a few have staying power. While this one isn’t my normal listening style, I did remember it. I also really enjoyed our arrangement of it.
I could hear Amy’s voice as soon as I read that. Black Dragon is an awesome tea that I had intended to restock for Christmas but got distracted and ordered other teas for youngest. It is one of her favorites. Big sis gave her two other Lapsangs, though.
