Lapsang Souchong, also referred to as smoked tea, is one of the world's oldest and most distinctive black teas.This black tea is originally from the Wuyi region in Fujian,China,using the traditional techniques that have been passed down from ancient time.

After the tea is plucked, the leaves acquire their intensely smoky flavor when they are dried over cypress or pine wood fires. The leaves are positioned on bamboo trays over smoky pine fires, where they dry and absorb even more aroma. The finished tea leaves are thick and black and when steeped in hot water, produce a rich tea with a unique, smoky taste.
