Lapsang Souchong (Organic)
90 g tea-filled tin

An intense, full-bodied smoked black tea from China: Lapsang Souchong is a true classic that offers a singular taste experience.

Lapsang Souchong... Say its name slowly to glimpse its character, at once gentle and infinitely powerful. This smoky Chinese black tea with dark, twisted leaves offers woody, ashy notes right from the start. There's no doubt about it: this tea is smoked and proud of it, generously sharing with us the hints of the fire that lend it fragrance and flavor, in Fujian province, in southeast China. Next, the roundness of the black tea gently asserts itself.

The one-of-a-kind Lapsang Souchong is a deep, organic, smoky Chinese black tea whose amber brew betrays its intensity. You'll never forget once you've tasted it.

This organic tea is available in loose-leaf, because it's better for the planet.

The info you need

Legend has it that smoked tea originated in China's Fujian province, just as a harvest was coming to an end. The drying phase had begun, but the facilities were requisitioned by the army. To avoid losing precious tea leaves, the planter decided to accelerate the process by drying them over a wood fire rather than in the open air. This gave his tea a smoky taste, which earned him many compliments. Smoked tea was born.
