Lapsang Souchong is the original smoked tea, a black tea from the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian, China, where the leaves are traditionally smoke-dried over pinewood fires. The result is unforgettable: a bold, campfire-smoky aroma over a smooth, gently sweet black tea with hints of dried fruit.
Love it or not, it's never boring. Fans call it "a campfire in a cup." It pairs beautifully with savory breakfasts, cheese and smoked meats, and it adds smoky depth to marinades, rubs and broths.
Ingredients: Lapsang Souchong black tea
Brew: 1–2 teaspoons (or 1 tea bag) per 8 oz of water at 200–212°F (just off the boil). Steep 3–4 minutes. For a milder smoke, use less tea or steep for less time.
Caffeine: Moderate (black tea)
