Lapsang Souchong is a style of smoky black tea grown in the Fujian province in China. The ‘Souchong’ refers to the fourth and fifth leaves of the plant, which are coarser and less aromatic than the pekoe buds, allowing them to take on the smoky characteristics of a campfire. The leaves are roasted in a bamboo basket which is heated over burning pinewood, this contributes to the smoky, resiny flavour and aroma. You’ll smell timber resin, sweet paprika and the peaty whiff of malt whisky.

This black tea packs a punch and is not for the feint hearted.
