Lapsang Souchong Tea Bags

Step into a world where tradition meets exotic flavour with our Lapsang Souchong Tea Bags. This tea comes from the misty mountains of Fujian, China. It has a smoky flavor, like a warm, crackling fire.

Each sip transports you to ancient pine forests. There, the black tea leaves are smoke-dried over pinewood fires. This gives them their unique aroma and taste. It's perfect for chilly mornings or relaxing evenings. This smoky tea is not just a drink, but an experience. It invites you to enjoy the strong, earthy notes and rich history with every cup.

We make all our lapsang tea bags in our factory. It's nestled in the heart of the Kentish countryside in Pluckley. We are committed to quality, which is shown in the traditional methods we use. We blend age-old techniques with modern standards of purity and sustainability.

How to Make Lapsang Souchong Tea Bags

Creating the perfect cup of Lapsang, with its unique smoky essence, is an art that begins with the right steps. Here’s a simple guide to making your Lapsang tea bags at home:

1. Boil Water: Start by boiling fresh, cold water. For the best flavour, use filtered water if possible. It thrives at a boiling temperature, so aim for 100°C (212°F) to fully extract its profound character.
2. Preheat Your Cup: To elevate your tea experience, preheat your tea cup by rinsing it with a bit of boiling water. This step ensures your tea stays warm for longer.
3. Infuse: Place one tea bag in your preheated cup. Once your water reaches a rolling boil, pour it over, ensuring it's fully submerged. This intimate contact with hot water is crucial to release the tea's signature smoky flavour.
4. Steep: Allow the tea to steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your taste preference. A longer steeping time will extract more depth and smokiness from the leaves.
5. Enjoy: After steeping, remove and inhale the rich, smoky aroma before taking your first sip. 
6. Additions: Enjoy the tea to appreciate its complex flavour profile, or add a slice of lemon or a dash of milk to complement its robustness.

Tasting Notes: Distinctive smoky scent is immediately apparent, with hints of pine and earthy notes that linger on the palate.

Caffeine Content: Containing approximately 30-60 mg of caffeine, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a moderate boost without the intensity of coffee.
