Taste lasts for days.

Yes, the taste does last for at least a day. While walking home I could taste it. I could taste it as I was trying to sleep later that night. If it is a man's tea, I'm a little boy - Crypticity

Has anyone ever noticed a taste from Lapsang Souchong of poor quality that tastes of burnt rubber? JD79 17:47, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

we compare the Lapsang smell with the smell of ski-tar :) Anonymous

[edit] Too many names

(traditional: 拉普小種, pinyin: lāpǔshān xiǎozhǒng, Minnan: l a̍p-pho·-san sió-chéng, Cantonese: làaipóusàan síujúng or 烟小种 (traditional: 煙小種, pinyin: yān xiǎozhǒng, Minnan: ian sió-chéng, Cantonese: yìn síujúng I have no idea where they go but they seem very similar to some others and it was too technical, making most of the page unreadable. --Iateasquirrel 03:45, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] link spam

I dont think all the tea shops listed in the reference were link spam, they were added because they are good sources and cite their sources too. I have reverted back to the last non-spam edit, if I am wrong to do this please revert back to edit by User:MarkSweep, thanks. --Iateasquirrel 12:10, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Having checked, these links still look more like link spam than references. The edits that introduced the references were [1] and [2]. The only information added is that Lapsang Souchong originates from Wuyi and both references are of a highly commercial nature. I find it difficult to believe that these are the only sources for this information, or even the most reliable sources. A potentially better reference is enonline.shanghai.com - it discuses Lapsang Souchong, but only limits Wuyi Rock Tea and Wuyi Cliff Oolong to Wuyi Mountain. At the moment I can't find a better source online, but, if ture, I would have thought this fact would be mentioned in many books on tea which would make for a better reference. -- Solipsist 20:32, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Ofcourse those references would be much better, I think the edits might have been fragmented but the links were never spam; hope we can find some better references! I'll have a look. --Iateasquirrel 09:43, 16 December 2005

I've updated the references, less commercial ones, a few more to find. But some things in the article I removed because they are simply the opposite to things that are mentioned in the articles. --Iateasquirrel 03:45, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Request for better images!

Just to mention that the images of a Twinings teabag are really no good, if anyone has any real Wuyi loose leaf Lapsang Souchong it would probably be more descriptive. I don't have any. Thoughts? --Iateasquirrel 02:20, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tea bag

I've removed the tea bag image because it has no use, if you think otherwise please insert it back. --Iateasquirrel 00:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] i saw that

weasel wording fruity tea nazis, if you do not like the flavor of cigarette ashes and burnt rubber i reccomend that you stop eating them.

[edit] Use as marinade

It could be mentioned in the article that (at least in my experience) lapsang souchong tea may be used as a marinade, to impart a smoky flavor to meat, tofu, etc. Badagnani 05:31, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
