Lapsang Souchong, black tea
A traditional Chinese black tea with a distinctive smoky aroma and gentle woody sweetness. Perfect to enjoy pure or with milk.
Lapsang Souchong is one of China’s most iconic teas, originating from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province. The leaves are dried over pinewood fires, giving the tea its signature smoky scent and deep, resinous character. The flavor is bold yet smooth — a balance of firewood warmth, caramel undertones, and subtle fruitiness.
This tea evokes the comfort of a campfire on a cool evening — rich, aromatic, and soothing. Lapsang Souchong is ideal for those who appreciate teas with personality and depth. Add a splash of milk or honey to soften its smoky edge and reveal its sweet, mellow heart.
