What is Lapsang Souchong?
To make it, black tea leaves are withered over pine fires which allows the smoke to infuse into the leaves, giving the tea a dark, smokey flavor with empyreumatic notes. This process gives the tea its distinctive smoky aroma and flavor. The result is a tea that is robust, earthy, and perfect for those who crave a bold and adventurous taste experience.
Lapsang Souchong is quite unique, and is a great option for the adventurous tea drinker that's tried it all. Its intense smokiness conjures a sensation of being around a roaring campfire on a chilly night. The strong, bold flavor of Lapsang Souchong is sure to awaken your senses.
