Produced in Formosa (Taiwan) and in the Fujian Province of China, Lapsang Souchong has been a long-time favourite black tea in many European countries and in America as well. Also known as Smoke Tea, Lapsang has a dominating smoky flavor. Made in an age-old tradition, the tea leaves are first withered over pine root fires, then panfried, rolled and oxidized. The leaves are finally placed in bamboo baskets and hung on wooden racks over smoking pine fires to dry and absorb the smoke. This results in a powerfully smoky aroma coupled with a smooth, rich taste. Lapsang is best enjoyed as an afternoon or evening tea and can even be used in cooking to add a smoky flavour to marinades.

and dark red in color.
