My favorite grocery store, which is both good on price and in selection, is Wegman's. This store makes me happy- if only for the fact they have an entire organic section and an entire isle dedicated to teas.
I went shopping after work the other day, and saw Lapsang Souchong tea and decided to try something new. When I got it home and opened the box, it was the smokiest smell! From a little research (also known as Wikipedia...) this tea is made by drying it by smoking it with pine trees. I knew I couldn't drink it, but this had definite possibilities for a spice.

Well, today I took one tea bag and mixed it with garlic, pepper, salt, a little of my dear husband's barbecue rub with a little oil and the chicken. I baked it and let it cool. Let me tell you, it tasted like it had been barbecued! Definitely going to experiment with this in the future.
My recommendations: However you like your barbecue spiced, then add some of the tea, then cook it on/in your stove/oven. It will turn out amazing.
Hope everyone has a great day. Happy eating!
