This smoked tea was the first red tea in history, resulting from a production accident that led to something novel for the time, when people were accustomed only to drinking green tea. This tea introduced new flavors derived from the fermentation and oxidation processes, resulting in a much sweeter tea with a reddish-amber color and notes of caramel, ripe fruit, and chocolate, complemented by the smoky flavor that enhances the experience. Treased around the world, here we present the traditional version, cold-smoked with pine smoke.

ORIGIN

TongMu, Fujian Province, China

Tongmu, Fujian, in the heart of the Wuyi Mountains, is considered the birthplace of Lapsang Souchong. Its mountainous climate, fog, and forests are ideal for producing black teas with great character, renowned for their depth, complexity, and—traditionally—their smoky notes.
