HOW TO MAKE LAPSANG SOUCHONG

We believe that how you make your tea is equally as important as the tea you use, so here are our tips:
  • Use freshly drawn cold water
  • Use water at a “rolling boil” (100?C)
  • Use 1 teabag per cup or 1 teabag per person in a teapot
  • Steep for 3 to 5 minutes (or to your taste)
  • Best with a splash of milk

… and for freshness every time, keep your tea somewhere cool, dark, dry and airtight!

  • All natural ingredients:

This tea is beautiful. As humorous as this sounds... when I first smelt it, I thought it smelt like bacon! However it has a refreshing taste to it, but still very smokey which I love. I tend to put two teabags in at once, but what can I say? I love it strong!

this one really is distinctive, as soon as the water hits the tea bag, a strong, smoky aroma is released. it has a complex, smoked flavour with plenty of bite. goes well with smoked cheeses and crackers.
