INGREDIENTS: Lapsang Souchong Black Tea LAPSANG SOUCHONG CAFFEINE LEVEL: High STEEP at 212° for 3-5 mins What is Lapsang Souchong Tea? Lapsang Souchong is a premium loose leaf smoked black tea from China’s Wuyi Mountains, known for its bold pinewood-smoked character and deep, warming cup with notes of campfire smoke, dried fruit, and subtle natural sweetness. As one of the world’s most distinctive black teas, it delivers a powerful aromatic profile unlike any other traditional tea. Produced in Fujian Province using fully oxidized tea leaves, Lapsang Souchong is traditionally dried over pinewood fires, allowing the leaves to absorb rich smoky aromas during processing. This distinctive method creates its signature profile—layered smoke intertwined with the natural sweetness of the tea leaf itself. Beneath the smoke, hints of dried longan, stone fruit, and light malt add complexity and balance. When brewed, Lapsang Souchong produces a deep amber liquor with an intense aroma of pine smoke, toasted wood, and subtle dried fruit. The flavor opens immediately with bold smoky notes reminiscent of a wood-fired hearth, followed by softer undertones of dark fruit and gentle malt. The finish is smooth, warming, and lingering, with no bitterness when properly steeped. This tea is best enjoyed by those who appreciate strong, characterful flavors. It can be brewed traditionally for a full smoky experience or steeped more lightly to highlight its underlying sweetness. It also pairs surprisingly well with savory foods, making it a favorite for brunch, smoked dishes, or hearty meals.
