  • Description

    Our reinvention of Lapsang Souchong is an Organic Chinese black tea smoked over Cherrywood in the UK. Inspired by traditional Lapsang from the Wuyi Mountains, we’ve combined the natural smoky notes and richness of Yunnan black tea with sweetly aromatic smoke from Cherrywood to create a exquisitely smooth Lapsang experience.

    Smoked black tea has been arriving from China since the early days of tea clippers, when it was known as Bohea tea - the spelling in local dialect for WuyiMountains. Our Cherrywood Lapsang takes a black tea from Yunnan Province, China and pairs it with cherrywood smoke for an outstanding flavour combination. The smoking takes place in the UK where a special process to filter smoke from cherrywood has been developed. The filtration removes acridity and other impurities, which results in a greater flavour clarity and smoothness to the finished tea.

Where does this cup come from?

Yunnan, China

Unlike many breakfast teas blended for uniformity, this organic breakfast tea encapsulates the character of its origin and maker. It's a tea crafted for quality and flavour rather than quantity. Deep in the subtropical lush mountains of Yunnan, the large leafed Assamica varietal of tea bush grows abundantly in Yongde Garden garden. From these bushes, tea makers Yang Dong and Xioa Li coax out flavours of malt, ripe plum and hints of sweet spice. Enjoy with or without milk but know that a splash of milk emphasises the standout comforting chocolate finish.
