20091118 - Lapsang Souchong

It was supposed to be raining tonight too - that's good enough for me ;o) It's wet enough out there as it is anyway.

Too late for smoky tea now, hot choccy and off to bed :o))

Wonderful shot. Where lapdog shoe-snog is concerned, I'd much rather look at it than drink it.

Powerful stuff!
Both the tea...and the pho-tea.

An acquired taste I feel! Lovely macro, the detail is excellent.
globalgadabout19-Nov-2009 03:41
so much flavour bound up in those wizened leaves...and brilliantly offset by the reflective lens-like spoon...sumptuous image..b

Definitely the choccy for me.
Máire Uí Mhaicín18-Nov-2009 23:19
Tea like I've never seen it before. That looks strong enough to keep you awake, so you did well to take the chocolate!
