This very distinctive tea comes packed with an exotic smoky flavor. After the leaves are picked, they are withered over pine & oak wood fires and are then placed into wooden barrels until they begin to produce their own pleasant aroma.
When steeped in hot water the leaves produce a bright reddish-orange cup of tea. The flavor is very heady and appeals to those looking for a bold cup of tea.
In recent years, Lapsang-Souchong has become more and more popular, especially among men, and has become a favorite tea to those who also appreciate Scotch whisky and fine cigars.
