Lapsang Souchong Smoked Black Tea

Lapsang Souchong Smoked Black Tea

Before becoming an educated tea connoisseur, you probably thought that Lapsang Souchong was a type of small, fluffy dog. Now you know better, you can indulge in this wonderfully smoky black tea while declaring its virtues to all who'll listen.

Some mighty fine craftsmanship goes into creating Lapsang Souchong tea. The leaves are traditionally smoked over pine logs in Fujian, China, for a delicate smokiness that's less "heck, the house is on fire" and more "delightful summertime BBQ". Try Lapsang Souchong once, and you'll find it so pleasant on the palate that you could drink it all day. Chin-chin!
