Lapsang Souchong

A Chinese Black Tea with a Smoky Twist

Discover Lapsang Souchong, a distinctive Chinese black tea renowned for its bold, smoky flavour & rich, woody character.

What makes this tea so unusual is its traditional smoking process. The tea leaves are first gently withered over fragrant Chinese woods before being dried in woven bamboo baskets suspended above smouldering pinewood fires.

As the leaves dry, they absorb the distinctive aroma of the wood smoke, creating a deeply flavoured black tea that's unlike any ordinary brew.
