Type: Smoked Black Tea

Discover the bold, distinctive character of Lapsang Souchong Tea, one of the world’s most unique black teas. Originating from the Fujian province of China, this traditional smoked tea is known for its unmistakable smoky aroma and rich, complex flavor.

After harvesting and processing, the tea leaves are carefully dried over pinewood fires, allowing them to absorb the natural smoky essence that gives Lapsang Souchong its signature character. The result is a full-bodied tea with a deep, warming flavor and a smooth finish unlike any other tea.

Often appreciated by those who enjoy peaty whiskies and fine cigars, Lapsang Souchong offers an adventurous tea experience with its bold, savory profile and elegant complexity. When brewed, it creates a beautiful burgundy-orange cup with a memorable smoky aroma and robust flavor.
