PerthWA I half agree with you. My ideal end to a perfect meal would be doppio ristretto with a glass of Hine Antique or Triomphe. Both are exceptional but together the sum exceeds the components.
Loyal_BA: You will not likely to find any airline serving this tea. I first came across this tea in Britain and it took me a while to acquire a taste for the very pronounced smoky flavor! Most Chinese don’t even know this tea and it took me another 10 years to track down the Chinese characters to find out the meaning of what this Lapsing Souchong is. Just had a cup before setting off to the airport!
The 82 Latour is coming down in price as the Chinese increasingly switch to generally underpriced Burgundy in these currently recessionary times – don’t think it would complement Lapsang Souchong too well – nor would I think either would be available in the air!
