Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
From the Fujian province of China, Lapsang Souchong is sought after by many tea connoisseurs for its distinct smoky aroma and flavor. Unlike others, these tea leaves are smoke-dried over pinewood fires, giving them a crisp and prominent flavor of smoky pine.
