I found out about this thread two days ago and am trying to catch up, 100 pages to go :p
I have always liked tea. Lapsang is the favourite.
Like most of us here I like the paraphernalia even though they are not a must.
Anyway, had some tea at work today. A friend of mine calls it Hunters blend. It's a homemade Lapsang and Keemun mix.

Lapsang is one tea I haven't tried yet. From what I read, I should like it. Welcome aboard!!!

much agree with steph, welcome aboard to our little slice of heaven olav. am enjoying some sadaf w/cardamom, as i work to chase the chill out of the house from this spring cold snap. decided to get the wood stove going, and got a little playful this morning. put some cloves, cinnamon stick, ginger and some sadaf w/ cardamom in a small can of water on the stovetop, now the house is begining to smell like chai tea. :) olav, how much of the two did your friend use when making that blend, i have both, and much prefer the lapsang to the keemum.

I think he had 2/3 Keemun, 1/3 Lapsang, for this I did roughly 50/50 to spice up the Keemun a bit, didn't like it that much on it's own.

on that i agree, keemun doesn't have a strong enough flavor for my taste buds, i will have to try the two mixed. i have some keemun here that i dont know what to do with, i wont drink it solo.
