After the tea leaves are withered, pan-fired, rolled, and oxidized, they’re carefully dried in bamboo baskets over slow-burning pine fires, locking in a distinctive smoky aroma and rich, savory flavor. It’s a smoky tea that captures the essence of a campfire—warm, smooth, and satisfying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not your everyday tea. With its bold taste, layered smoke notes, and lingering finish, it’s an interesting tea that wakes up the taste buds and leaves a strong impression. Some consider it an acquired taste; others call it their ultimate favorite tea. If you're drinking it first thing in the morning, subbing it in for coffee, or brewing it strong with boiling water, this smokey tea delivers a one-of-a-kind cup with real depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLegend has it that Lapsang Souchong was first created during the Qing Dynasty, when a tea factory rushed to finish its batch after soldiers moved through the area. To speed up the drying process, they used open pine fires, and accidentally created a new tea with a powerful smoky flavor that became an instant hit. Today, it’s a standout in the world of smoked teas, loved by adventurous sippers looking for bold flavor and timeless tradition. We searched high and low to find the best lapsang to bring you this delicious smoky flavor. If you are a whiskey or scotch fan, this may be a tea that you taste and absolutely love at first sip.\u003cstrong\u003e If this is your first order of this tea, try a sample first—the distinct smoky flavor in this robust tea is not for everyone! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLapsang Souchong Marinade Recipe\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmoky, savory, and ridiculously easy.
