Lapsang Souchong Tea (Camellia sinensis) is a distinctive and bold black tea known for its smoky, rich aroma and deep, complex flavor. Originating from China’s Fujian province, this traditional tea is crafted using a unique pinewood-smoking process, giving it an unmistakable, campfire-like character that sets it apart from other black teas.
The Camellia sinensis leaves used in Lapsang Souchong are carefully withered over pinewood fires, pan-fired, rolled, and then dried in bamboo baskets over burning pine logs. This slow-smoking method imparts a deep, woodsy smokiness, while allowing the tea’s natural sweetness and malty undertones to develop fully. The result is a smooth, full-bodied infusion with notes of smoked pine, cedar, and a hint of dark caramel.
When brewed, Lapsang Souchong Tea produces a dark amber infusion with a bold, smoky aroma and a well-rounded, slightly sweet finish. The balance of earthy, smoky, and subtly sweet flavors makes it a robust and invigorating tea, perfect for those who enjoy rich, full-bodied infusions.
Each batch of Lapsang Souchong Tea (Camellia sinensis) is carefully smoked and processed to preserve its signature flavor and high-quality craftsmanship. Whether enjoyed straight for its intense, warming notes or blended with milk for a smoother experience, this tea offers a bold, unforgettable journey into the world of fine smoked teas.
