Lapsang Souchong Black Tea

About This Tea
Lapsang Souchong Black Tea is one of the world’s oldest black teas, originating from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province, China. It is famous for its distinctive pine-smoked aroma, bold character, and rich history.

It is widely considered the original black tea, with a legacy dating back over 400 years.

Traditional Craftsmanship
Authentic Lapsang Souchong is:
  Withered over pinewood fires
  Rolled and oxidized
  Slowly smoked over pinewood
This process gives the tea its famous smoky character.
