I had an unusual cup of tea with breakfast yesterday.
It's something called lapsang souchong, a smoked black tea. Twinings prints a warning on the package: "Dare to try one of the world's oldest and most distinctive black teas." It is certainly an acquired taste.
Just one cup made our kitchen smell as if we'd been grilling smoked sausage in the house, and the taste was about what you'd expect from the smell.
It might be suitable as a breakfast tea if you were out camping in the woods. I suppose you might enjoy it if you were the designated driver at a tailgate party.
My better half didn't like it at all. There's not much chance of having it in the house again unless it comes in another assortment package.
