Our Lapsang Souchong Loose Leaf Tea is a truly distinctive Chinese black tea, celebrated worldwide for its signature smoky flavour and deep aroma. Originating from the Wuyi Mountains in China’s Fujian Province, this legendary tea is carefully dried over barkless pinewood fires, infusing the leaves with a soft, lingering smokiness that’s both bold and refined.
Unlike any other black tea, Lapsang Souchong undergoes a unique pinewood smoking process. The tea leaves are withered, rolled, oxidised, and then smoke-dried, allowing the natural oils of the pinewood to permeate each leaf. The result is a rich, full-bodied infusion with notes of cedar, campfire, and subtle sweetness, creating a truly unforgettable taste experience.
This tea is perfect for those who enjoy robust, complex flavours. It’s a wonderful choice for after-dinner sipping or as a warming companion on cold days. Many also enjoy it as a savoury complement to food or blended with other teas to add depth and character.
At Penningtons Tea & Coffee, we are proud to source our teas from trusted growers in China who maintain traditional production methods. Our Lapsang Souchong Loose Leaf Tea is hand-selected and sustainably packaged in eco-friendly, recylable bags to ensure lasting freshness and quality in every brew.
