This iconic Chinese red tea from Fujian is crafted using a traditional pine‑smoking method that gives it a deep, distinctive taste. Hand‑picked in early summer, the tender leaves are carefully oxidized and dried over pinewood fires to create its rich character. Lapsang Souchong is one of the most recognizable teas in the world, offering a bold, invigorating cup that awakens the senses and makes every tea moment unforgettable.

Taste: Rich, smoky, with a sweet-honey finish.
Aroma: Deep, smoky, and sweet.
Perfect for: Lovers of classic Lapsang Souchong.

Brewing instructions:
For the perfect cup, use 5–6 g of tea in 500 ml of water heated to 85–95 °C. Steep for 5–6 minutes — use hotter water and a longer brew for coarser leaves with fewer buds. Stir gently before pouring to ensure a balanced flavor. Best enjoyed earlier in the day, as its invigorating character is not recommended for evening consumption.

Where does this tea come from?

Fujian: The Cradle of Tea Innovation and Elegance

Fujian, a province famed for its lush mountains and coastal beauty, is the legendary birthplace of China’s most iconic teas. From the mineral-rich cliffs of Wuyi producing robust, roasted Oolongs (“Yancha” Rock Teas) like Da Hong Pao, to the gentle rolling hills of Anxi—home of the floral, creamy Tieguanyin—Fujian’s diverse terroir delivers extraordinary variety and depth. Delicate white teas such as Silver Needle and White Peony thrive in Fuding’s misty valleys, while the region’s black teas, including Jin Jun Mei and Golden Monkey, dazzle with smooth, honeyed complexity.

Fujian is also the heart of traditional jasmine tea, hand-scented for centuries with fresh blossoms. Every cup from Fujian showcases centuries of mastery, innovation, and sustainable cultivation, making this region a treasure trove for tea lovers seeking both time-honored classics and new discoveries. Experience the artistry and richness of Fujian in every fragrant infusion.
