Lapsang Souchong is a unique and traditional Chinese black tea that is known for its smoky aroma and flavor. We carefully curated this tea to ensure that the smokiness is not overpowering at all unlike the many ones on the market today. This tea is produced by expertly withering and smoking the tea leaves over pine wood fires, giving it a distinct and robust flavor. Only an experienced tea master would know how to only give the tea a hint of smoke and giving you the chance to still taste the tea in its glory. The tea has a dark, reddish-brown color and a smooth, full-bodied taste with a hint of sweetness. It is perfect for those who enjoy bold and flavorful teas and is often enjoyed with savory and spicy foods. If you tried many black teas before and are looking for something different, then Lapsang Souchong is a must-try for any tea enthusiast.
