Lapsang Souchong tea, also known as 正山小种 (Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong), is a distinctive black tea originating from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, China. Unlike other black teas, Lapsang Souchong is renowned for its unique smoky flavor, achieved by drying the tea leaves over pinewood fires. This traditional processing method imbues the tea with its signature aroma and taste.

The flavor profile of Lapsang Souchong is bold and complex. It has a smoky, piney aroma accompanied by a smooth and slightly sweet taste. For many, it’s a tea that evokes campfire memories or the essence of a fine scotch. Beyond its flavor, Lapsang Souchong is rich in antioxidants and contains moderate caffeine, making it a revitalizing and healthful choice.

As one of the earliest black teas in history, Lapsang Souchong has gained international fame and has been admired by figures such as Winston Churchill, who enjoyed its robust, smoky character. Whether sipped plain or used as a base for blends, Lapsang Souchong tea offers a remarkable sensory journey for tea lovers.
