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.
Glorious. Given to me as a present. Has spoiled me for other lapsang souchongs though! Strong smoky and peaty smell is wonderful. Taste is evocative and gently stimulating.
