Description

Our Lapsang Souchong, the famous smoked tea from the Fujian province of China. The smokey taste comes from the method by which the leaves are dried, in baskets over resinous pine wood fires, giving them that unique smell and taste. Caravan teas were in the past carried to Europe by camel, now alas by ship!

Brewing Advice: one and a half teaspoons per mug, add fresh boiling water (100ºC) and steep for four minutes.
