The weather guy this morning said he felt like he was giving the forecast for “September 42nd” instead of mid-October. But we did have one viably autumnal day earlier in the week. Cool and deliciously damp, so I threw open the office window (old school building with windows I can control myself!) and used up some scraps of these nice leaves
It took me years to learn how I like lapsang: weak and wimpy. But this version is light enough on the smoke, I can steep it for a “grown-up” length of time without it tasting like campfire ash. The good-quality tea base is still detectible, too.
