Pine-Smoked Lapsang Souchong Black Tea

Out of the Fujian province, this delicious black tea has been dried over a fire of sweet pine wood, giving it a distinctive, bold, smoky taste.

Lapsang Souchong is most likely the world’s oldest black tea. As legend has it, about 400 years ago, a large number of Qing dynasty armies traveled through the Wuyi Mountains shortly before the annual tea drying process was complete. In an effort to satisfy the subsequent demand for tea, local tea producers tried speeding up the drying process by roasting leaves over fires fueled by pine. The result was a delicious, robust, and smoky brew.
