Overview
Best pick • solid other choice from Unknown origin
Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses
A deep, smoky aroma wafts from the cup, like the smell of a cozy campfire. Lapsang Souchong tea leaves are withered over pine or cypress to infuse a woody scent, and then dried over a smoking pine fire. This unique savory flavor profile is surprising at first, but quickly grows on you. Try it paired with a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs. Learn more about this unique tea in our Lapsang Souchong primer.
