The Tea
Famous for its smoky, syrupy taste, Lapsang Souchong continues to be a dividing favourite amongst customers.
The word ‘Souchong’ is a term used to describe large leaves that have been rolled lengthwise and are therefore somewhat coarser in texture.
This China Lapsang Souchong tea has been withered over cypress wood fires giving it its distinctive smoky character.
Compared with the Formosa Lapsang Souchong, this tea is lighter in character.
Recommended brew method
We recommend brewing China Lapsang Souchong for 3 minutes at 100°C and serving black. You can re-infuse the leaves again several times for 1 minute until it loses its flavour.
What Could Be More British Than A Cup of Tea?
It is estimated in Britain we drink 165 million cups of tea a day. From the moment we wake up the kettle is on for a brew in many households across the country, and tea just seems to make everything better.
