Our Lapsang Souchong China Black Tea delivers a smoked and distinctive flavor, with the heady aroma of an oak fire.
This tea originates from Fujian province. The Fukienese word ‘souchong’ means sub-variety – that is a sub-variety of other black teas from the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian. When Lapsang Souchong was first exported to western European countries and became famous on the international markets, it was no doubt due to the distinct aroma and flavor.

TeaboxB! I’ve had worse smoky teas but I’ve had better. The scent is heavy the flavor is the mid level of smoky. The flavor isn’t bad. Kind of like a BBQ. The black tea is mid-strength. Not too much to say! A good one to try if you’re looking to try lapsang for the first time, but I really like Zen tea life’s blend.
Backlog:
As some of you may be aware, I tend to be a bit nervous when it comes to smoky teas, but I’m coming around to the point where I can say that I like them now, so long as they’re brewed properly.
This has a strong smoky note with caramel-y undertones. Sweet yet rich and robust. An enjoyable Lapsang Souchong.
Went through so many little pouches of this that I bought a giant amount and now I’m afraid I’ll never get through it. Oh well. Every once in a while I get the urge for Lasang and this fits the bill nicely. A strong smoky scent and a very light tasting tea.
I have a recipe I made awhile back for a whole chicken marinated in lapsang with asian spices & then baked. It was pretty tasty!
Sounds delicious!
sounds delicious too terri!
Yours sounds tasty too!
mmmmm lapsang is my fave tea to cook with!
so verdict? REALLLLLYYYYY tasty dinner tonight :)
Yay!!
I still have to cook…Instead I’ve just placed 3 tea orders, LOL!
I guess I’d better get away from my computer & get my axx in the kitchen!
Mmmmm. What did the man think of the tea infused food?
Oh he loved it. :) a hit overall
Yum. I have some chicken that I just threw in the freezer; maybe I’ll have to bring it back out and try something like this. Although, horror, I may actually not have enough straight lapsang to do something like this!
I keep seeing “sip-down.” What does that mean?
sometimes folks celebrate finishing up a tea and getting to remove it from their cupboard. :)
Oh, I see. It’s sort of sad to me.
only when your cupboard is small lol for me it’s a victory when my cupboard gets huge… it means less tea in my cupboard and one step closer to being able to place an order for new teas! :)
That makes sense. For people that can’t afford too many, it means having to wait awhile before having a new tea to replace it. So, I miss that tea for awhile.
I’m sure if you have a big enough collection, it doesn’t feel that way. :)
Sip downs are sad when it’s a tea you have really loved & you’re drinking the very last cup..,sigh…but once you’ve done a few tea trades and you have a big pile (or 2 or 3) of samples that you’re best friend in Canada sent to you, sip downs feel like a glorious accomplishment, right Sil? ;)
haha yes terri!
