About Organic Lapsang Tea
This particular beverage originates from the Shaowu area of Fujian, China – recognised by many as the production capital of smoked Black Tea. The leaves are often large, ripe and perfectly-suited to the smoking process, which is undertaken with the utmost care and diligence. It is a process that, in fact, dates back centuries.
Legend has it that Lapsang Souchong was the first Black Tea ever created – by pure accident! The story goes that a group of farmers found themselves confronted by bandits looking to steal their crop. And so, in order to whisk their produce away before it could be taken, the humble workers dried the leaves over pinewood fires.
Although this hasty endeavour sped up the Tea’s oxidation as hoped, it also created a distinctly smoky flavour from the fire. At first, the farmers grew disheartened, believing they had ruined it. But they persevered and reluctantly carried the Tea off to the market. Suffice to say, upon arrival, it proved to be a tremendous success!
Little has changed today. Now, however, you can enjoy a cup of Lapsang Tea while supporting mother nature. Indeed, by choosing organic, you’re promoting the welfare of the Tea-growing regions themselves, not to mention the pickers, factory workers and, of course, yourself. So, what are you waiting for? Brew up with a clear conscience right here with us.
