Lapsang Souchong is a smoked Chinese black tea, with a strong, peaty flavour that has tantalised tea tasters for generations.
Legend has it that this tea’s smoky character came about when tar from Chinese fishing nets melted into a cargo of tea that was due for shipping to Britain. People were so impressed with its distinctive taste that it became much sought after.
However, it is more likely to have always been smoked, and in China this is still done in the traditional way, in pans over open fires.
Lapsang Souchong also plays a vital role in the recipe for our delightfully peaty Crofter’s Chai – Seaidh a’ Chroiteir, a smoky variant on our best-selling Yogi Yogi Chai:
