Thank you for the clarification. I asked because NYE I learned that there is black cardamom, in addition to the green cardamom that I was already familiar with. It is not a “true” cardamom and has a very smoky aroma...

I’ve been to Capital Tea on Yonge just north of Lawrence. They have a very good selection. I had been looking for lapsang souchong for the longest time and could not find it in any of the chinese stores. I believe there is...

Hey Bryan- It was the Ritz (which was great). I posted a detailed email all about it under your original reply so check it out! Thanks, Mark P.S. an addendum to my 2/27 post: the mystery tea is called "Lapsang Souchong"

Imperial Tea: Orchid Oolong, Rose Garden, Jade Fire Green, Imperial Breakfast Black, Lapsang Souchong Black and Herbal Hibiscus Prosperity Blend. Maybe some Red Peony if I was being extravagant. - From Celadon: White Dragon Pearls...

English muffins are not English and you don’t find them over there. The closest thing would be a crumpet. I like milk in some tea. some tea I prefer black or with lemon. I like Earl Grey and the very smoky Lapsang Souchong....

We ended up having tea at the Sutton Place hotel. The tea was alright, but I found it strange that they were missing classics like darjeeling (my favourite) and lapsang souchong. My floral jasmine had a nice aroma, but a rather...

the meal. The staff know quite a lot about the teas they’re serving, and exude an air of polite competence. i had the Russian Caravan tea, advertised as a blend of Lapsang Souchong, darjeeling (i think), and bergamot. The...

There are a few tea shops along Bayview in Leaside. Although I’ve blanked on the name, a shop on the west side of Bayview has beautiful teas. I found a wonderful Lapsang Souchong there.

Not soup, but I’ve heard of adding lapsang souchong to both chili and baked beans. I haven’t got around to trying it yet.

I don’t know about caffeine strength, but for robust there is Lapsang Souchong. When looking at some of the threads on Chowhound, you find that tea is much more varied than you would ever believe possible.

I’ve recently been getting into tea so even though I’ve never heard of Graces tea I stopped by McNulty’s this morning. They were $6 for 2oz and I bought the Lapsang Souchong, smoky no. 1 [i think i had something...
