Tea Story

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

This lapsang is everything you'd want from a decent lapsang souchong - smoky and refreshing

Smokey Tea!

I would have liked the Lapsang Souchong tea to be a little more smokey but all in all not bad.

Lovely tea to drink first thing in work and gives the room a beautifully smoky aroma before my coffee drinking colleagues arrive

Good quality Loose Leaf Tea

Saturday, 23 January 2021 | Patrick

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.
