I have recently just aquired some teas after the Fourth of July
holiday. I received my order of Hu-Kwa Lapsang Souchong from Wendell,
and I am drinking it right now. While I think that RoT L.S. has more of
a smoky scent, I like the depth of flavor this provides. Once I finish
ths 113 gram tin, I am going to go for their China Lapsang Souchong.

Giving Earl Grey a second chance, I decided to purchase a tin of
Twinings E.G. at H.E.B. I must admit, after a few cups it is starting
to grow on me - it is not burgamot soup like Bigalow and it doesn't
taste as nearly as bad as its bagged cousin. I can actually smell the
melange of the tea and the burgamot, which i find is a good thing.

But along with the Earl Grey, I picked up some Prince of Wales...and
let me tell you, I have fallen in love with black chinese tea all over
again. The dark, rich, almost malty flavor is something I love as a
Lapsang souchong drinker. My girlfriend, whose tea consumption doesn't
extend much beyond tisanes for fear of something upsetting her
diabetes, loves it as well...and she prefers a cup after lunch with a
bit of sweetener, while I on the other hand prefer it clear.

My query for all those more enlightened about tea than I am is this -
can I obtain some history on this particular blend, or keemun tea in
general? I'd be much obliged.
