Does anyone know a resource for tea recipes (that is, meals the
preparation of which involves handling C. sinensis leaves)? I have some
lapsang I'm wondering if I can do something with other than drink.

This page http://www.sallys-place.com/beverage...oking_with.htm has
some recipes, one of which is chicken which requires lapsang...

Coincidentally, in a conversation with a couple of students the day before
yesterday, one from Taiwan and one from Shanghai, they mentioned the custom
of cooking "tea eggs," which is nothing more than boiling the eggs in a
strong tea. The tea flavor seeps through the shell right into the eggs.
Cool; if you like eggs, that is.
