This Lapsang Souchong loose leaf tea gains its unique character from the smoke of high-quality Chinese pinewood.
Lapsang Souchang has become a very popular tea to tea drinkers and especially to those who also appreciate single-malt Scotch whiskey and fine cigars. Its smoky flavour is often considered "assertive" and "bold".
The smoking time is determined for each type separately (Lapsang Souchong, Tarry Lapsang Souchong or Lapsang Souchong Crocodile). Our Lapsang Souchong has a large, open, black, slightly greyish leaf with a sharp note of smoke.
Ingredients: Chinese smoked black tea
Region & Time of Harvest
This tea is harvested in summer in China in the Fujian region.
I really like the Smokey taste which is a classic. The resealable bag that the tea came in is very well made with an excellent resealable system. The ordering and delivery process was really good and I will definitely be ordering from The Tea Makers again. A very good experience.
My favourite tea so I decided to buy some loose leaf to try it out in my new teapot. Very enjoyable and refreshing and I will be buying again from The Tea Makers. My first delivery was sent quickly in a very attractive caddy which I will reuse on my next order.
Amazing quality tea. Really happy with my purchase.

This tea is my most important discovery for ages
Thursday, 24 September 2020 | John
This tea is my most important discovery for ages because I have stumbled across a Lapsang Souchong that I am so impressed with, that I think it is going to become my staple, day-to-day tea.
I have tried a lot of different Lapsang Souchong; enough to know that the ("tea for westerners', as the Chinese say) is often subject to abject indifference.
I had nothing to lose in trying the Tarry Lapsang Souchong No. 24, as my expectations were quite low. But this iteration of the tea is so good, that I am no longer looking for a tea to replace my all time favourite Smoky Earl Grey, from a certain royally appointed tea house.
This Lapsang Souchong has stormed it. And the final proof of the pudding for me is that it stays the course, which is an exception to the rule with most Lapsang Souchong. The stuff tends to die on its feet after a couple of weeks usually.
