Lapsang Souchong

Lapsang Souchong

Our Lapsang Souchong begins with bold black leaves, which are smoked over pine embers in Eastern China, making this tea rich and full-bodied with a deep, bronze liquor. Both aromatic and distinctive, our Lapsang has grand character.
Ingredients: Smoked, Large-Leaf Chinese Tea   •    Where it's Grown: China

Why it’s Special:


  • A strong flavor of pine smoke with a finish of peaches and apricots

  • A powerful aroma of fresh pine smoke with hints of spice

  • A tea with a heavy body

  • This tea is withered and dried over smoldering pine needles giving it its characteristic flavor

  • From the Fujian Province, the birthplace of this tea style


What to be Careful of:


  • Its smokiness can be overpowering for some

  • Lapsang Souchong has a long finish that lingers on your palate for minutes

  • Contains no tea tips giving it a bolder flavor

  • Does not combine well with milk

  • Traditionally served “neat” or with lemon


Who it’s for:

Those who love smokey flavors
Coffee Drinkers
People who like big bold flavors
The first Lapsang Souchong is rumored to have been produced by accident. Along a desperate, yearlong caravan from China to Moscow, each night's pinewood fire would gradually flavor the black tea. Our Lapsang Souchong or “Russian Caravan Tea” is, like the original, a rich and smoky tea. As you will discover, ours is no accident.
