I’ll start with the fact that I kind of like the smell of gasoline, and also bleach for some reason.

    Seconded. It’s like drinking a smoky campfire. It’s definitely not for everyone, or can be overwhelming. I like it occasionally. Nobody else in my house can stand it.

        I hated tea (well, didn’t really hate. Just didn’t see the point) until I had Smokey Earl Grey at my friend’s house which I immediately called Bacon Tea. The sweet from the Earl Grey plus the smokey from the Lapsang Souchong really reminded me of a good thick cut piece of bacon dipped in maple syrup.

        Then they recommended straight up Lapsang Souchong if I liked the smokey tea. I haven’t drank anything else since. That was like 8 years ago.
