Lapsang Souchong Black Tea
Lapsang Souchong Black Tea
Renowned for its distinctive smoky aroma and tarry smooth flavour, Lapsang is strongly recognised by westerners. Winston Churchill was partial to this variety. Most probably the first variety of black tea to be produced, its fermentation processes have been closely guarded since the Qing Dynasty. A great tea to have with other smoked foods like salmon, cheese and meats. Also known as Smoky Black Tea
