Crafted from the mature, broad Souchong leaves plucked from the lower sections of the tea bush, this distinctive black tea stands apart in both character and process. Unlike teas made from tender buds and young leaves, Lapsang Souchong undergoes a unique transformation: after fermentation, the leaves are briefly roasted in hot iron pans, then gently smoked over resin-rich pinewood.
This traditional method imparts a bold, unmistakable smokiness—sharp, aromatic, and deeply warming. Our Lapsang Souchong features large, open leaves with a subtle grayish hue, delivering a rich, smoky cup that evokes campfires, forest air, and ancient rituals.
Whether you're drawn to the classic Lapsang Souchong, the deeper Tarry variety, or the rare Crocodile grade, each offers a distinct journey into the heart of smoky sophistication.
