I woke up this morning feeling like I needed cigarette. Fuck, I don't have any cigarettes, I thought. What's the next best thing? Come on Duke, you know this...sex? no. cigarettes are fun after sex...smelling those awesome fruity scented markers? no. they don't even taste like fruit! fuck that I want something that smells and tastes like fruit. ok Duke, come on, think...oh yeah Lapsang Souchong is like cigarettes. duh. I went to my cabinet and grabbed my Twinings Lapsang Souchong. Heated up my water and poured it in my loose-leaf tea pot. My smoke alarm went off. Shit. Smokey-ass Lapsang Souchong. Get Smokey Bear up here to supervise my L'Chong brewing.
You like my French-Chinese name for it? It seems appropriate to me since it tastes like French people protesting a reduction in their 37 days of paid vacation a year by burning down the Louvre and Chinese girls with bound feet waddling around a hillside filled with my future tea. Lapsang Souchong is a "smoked" tea, so its smokey flavor is either taken from the wood used to smoke it or the smokey flavoring infused into the leaves. I don't know how Twinings does theirs, but god damn I thought I was drinking a campfire. I assume it is actually smoked. The campfire in my mouth was smooth too, likely due to it being loose-leaf tea.
Twinings is cheap as shit too. I don't even remember how much I paid for it. I actually had to go to the store to figure that out, after I finished my tea though. On my way I couldn't help but think that everyone was driving like little Chinese girls with bound feet. I heard my smoke alarm go off in my head and remembered something I heard when I was a little kid:
"Only riot police can prevent French protest fires."
