Lapsang Souchong

The Campfire Tea Love it or hate it, there is nothing else like it. This is the tea that tastes like a campfire in a pine forest. Our organic Lapsang Souchong is dried over smoking pine wood fires, allowing the leaves to absorb the resinous, smoky aroma deep into their core. It is bold, savory, and unapologetically intense. Why It Works This is the "Scotch Whiskey" of the tea world. The smoke adds a savory complexity that appeals to people who usually drink dark roast coffee or Mezcal. It is surprisingly smooth on the palate, with the maltiness of the black tea providing a sweet backbone to the heavy smoke. The Culinary Ritual Drink it or Eat it. While it makes a cozy rainy-day brew, this tea is also a secret weapon in the kitchen. We grind the dry leaves and use them as a "smoky rub" for grilled vegetables or tofu. It adds a depth of flavor that liquid smoke simply can't match.
