Lapsang Souchong is a distinctive black tea originating from China's Fujian province, celebrated for its unique smoky aroma and flavor. This character is achieved through an additional drying process over a smoking pine fire, which imparts a sweet, clean smoky note to the tea.
While Lapsang Souchong can sometimes be known for a bold smokiness, truly fine examples reveal a much more nuanced profile. Our version is notably approachable, offering a clean, slightly cool smokiness in the aroma—reminiscent of menthol. The flavor is sweet and refreshing with a crisp, edgy smoky presence, complemented by a golden-coppery infusion that signals a gentle smoking process rather than an overpowering one.
This tea features a sweet pine flavor that gracefully fades with a lightly evaporating finish. The complexity of smoky dimensions in one cup highlights the craftsmanship behind a well-made Lapsang Souchong—delivering an experience that balances smoky intensity with delicate sweetness and refreshing clarity.
