Lapsang Souchong Tea

Description

Lapsang Souchong Tea

This is our highly recommended extra smokey blend!

The Wuyi region of the Fujian province in China is famous for producing this wildly popular smoky black tea named Lapsang Souchong (立山小种). After smoking over a pine fire, this tea is transformed into an aromatic masterpiece.

Some say that the origin of this tea dates back to the Qing era in China, with some passing armies delaying the drying of tea leaves that normally occurs during that time. To speed up the process of drying in order to satisfy demand, the workers hastened the drying by placing the leaves over pine fires. Lapsang Souchong is also reportedly the first black tea in history!

We also have an Earl Grey version of this tea here.

Brewing 

  1. Add 1 level (not heaped) teaspoon to boiling water.
  2. Steep time will dramatically affect flavour, with a good starting point being 2 1/2 minutes.

International Return and Refunds Policy

At Tea Life, we are proud to offer international shipping to many countries around the world so customers everywhere can enjoy our teas. However, due to the unpredictable nature of international postal systems, we are unfortunately unable to guarantee delivery once an order leaves Australia.

Important Information for International Customers:

  • Once your order has been dispatched, it becomes the responsibility of your country’s local postal or customs service.

  • While we provide tracking for most international shipments, delivery times may vary widely and can be affected by customs delays, local postal handling, or other factors beyond our control.

  • Tea Life does not offer refunds, replacements, or credits for international orders that are lost, delayed, or not received.

Before You Order Internationally:

We strongly recommend checking your local import regulations and postal reliability before placing an international order. Some countries may have restrictions on tea imports or experience inconsistent delivery performance.

By placing an international order with Tea Life, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

We appreciate your understanding and thank you for supporting our Australian business.

With the above being said, we see an over 99% success rate for international deliveries and without issue.

A smokey delight
Lapsang Souchong Tea 50g - Small
The smokey taste and aroma takes centre stage. It is marvellous on its own and perhaps even better when blended with Earl Grey. It's a keeper!!

Lapsang is by far my favourite tea. I love the smoky warmth of it. Tea Life provides a quality source of it, so I always know where to go when I run out.

Nice and Smokey. Lacks a little complexity and the smoke dominates a little much, but for the price I’m definitely happy
