Lapsang Souchong
Produced in China and Formosa (Taiwan),  its assertively smoky flavor makes the Lapsang Souchong the most distinctive of the black teas. The flavor is derived from the drying of the leaves in the smoke of pinewood. The resulting teas are rich and dark red in color. Their aromas and qualities range widely. Good grades are smooth and intriguingly smoky while lower ones can be overpowering and tarry.
