An ancient and much loved tea from China. Large tea leaves are dried over smoky pine fires. Making this tea develop a distinctive smoky flavor and aroma. The leaves are first withered over fires of pine or cypress wood. After pan-frying and rolling, they are presses into wooden barrels and covered with cloth to ferment until they give off a pleasant fragrance. The leaves are fired again and rolled into taut strips. Then they are placed in bamboo baskets and hung on wooden racks over smoking pine fires to dry and absorb the smoke flavor. When finished they are thick, glossy black strips, and produce a dark red beverage with a unique aroma and taste. It is generally consumed with sugar or milk. Depending upon one’s palate the taste can be light and intriguing or it can be heavy and overpowering. Not your daily drinking tea but great on the right occasion! Goes great with apples and aged cheese. Lapsang Souchong is best described as an acquired taste. Origin - China Cert. Organic Tea Leaf - Camellia Sinensis. Non-irradiated |
