The Tea House classic Lapsang Souchong.  Distinctly smoky with a hint of spice.

The large ripe 'Souchong' leaves of the tea plant are smoked over pinewood rich in resin creating a classic smokiness with just a hint of spice.  Cleansing and refreshing, it is perfect plain or with a  dash of milk.

Some claim that Lapsang Souchong was the first black tea produced in China.  According to legend, passing armies of the Qing era caused the annual leaf drying to be delayed, requiring producers to dry the leaves over pinewood fires.

Lapsang Souchong was said to be Winston Churchill's favourite brew!

Region & Growing Info

China

China is the world's largest producer of tea, offering diverse types including green, black, oolong, white, and Pu-erh. Famous regions include Zhejiang, home of our Dragon Well Lung Ching green tea, known for its fresh and nutty flavour. Yunnan produces rich Pu-erh with earthy, aged qualities. Fujian is famous for oolong teas like Tie Guan Yin, offering floral, creamy notes. Each region imparts distinct flavours from unique climates and terroirs.

China's tea culture is rich with tradition, emphasising handcrafting and meticulous processing methods. Green teas such as Lung Ching are pan-fried while Oolong teas are primarily hand-rolled. Pu-erh undergoes fermentation, creating a robust, earthy profile. China's commitment to organic and sustainable farming is growing, with many regions producing eco-friendly teas. The country’s vast landscape ensures a variety of flavours, from delicate, floral flavours to bold and distinguished flavours.
