It is made from tea leaves that are smoked over pinewood fires during processing, which imparts a robust and aromatic smokiness to the tea. This unique method gives Lapsang Souchong a bold, fragrant profile that can be rich and slightly sweet or tar-like, depending on preparation. It’s enjoyed either on its own or as an ingredient in culinary dishes and cocktails. Known for its memorable smoky taste, it appeals to those seeking a bold tea experience with complex, layered flavors.
