Description

Our Lapsang Souchong China Black Tea delivers a smoked and distinctive flavor, with the heady aroma of an oak fire.

This tea originates from Fujian province. The Fukienese word ‘souchong’ means sub-variety – that is a sub-variety of other black teas from the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian. When Lapsang Souchong was first exported to western European countries and became famous on the international markets, it was no doubt due to the distinct aroma and flavor.
