Lapsang Souchong

From China’s Fujian province comes one of the world’s most distinctive black teas. Gently finished over smoldering pine fires, this carefully crafted Lapsang develops a clean, sweet smokiness that is far more nuanced than its bold reputation suggests.

The aroma carries a cool, almost menthol-like lift, while the golden-copper cup reveals layers of sweet pine, crisp edges, and a lightly evaporating finish. Refreshing rather than heavy, smoky yet balanced, it offers dimension without overwhelming the palate.

This is smoke done properly. Complex. Crisp. Unexpectedly refined.
