Lapsang Souchong

$69.00

Lapsang Souchong is the earliest black tea in China, hailed as the "progenitor of black tea." Its core production area is located in the Tongmu Pass National Nature Reserve in Wuyi Mountains, Fujian. With its unique pine-smoke aroma, dried longan sweetness, and profound historical heritage, it has become one of the most recognized Chinese black teas in overseas markets.

Size： 4 OZ

Brewing Instructions：Gaiwan or Teapot Method

Water temperature: 200°F Ratio: 0.15 oz tea / 150ml water

Water steps: Rinse the tea first. The first through third infusions should be poured out immediately (quick steeps). Starting from the
fourth infusion, increase the steeping time by 5 seconds per infusion.

Storage Instructions:

Seal and place in a cool, dry, and dark location, away from odors. It can be stored in a tin or ceramic canister for better moisture protection.

Key Benefits Include:

Regular consumption of Lapsang Souchong can help reduce inflammation and protect the gastric mucosa. The caffeine and aromatic substances in the tea can increase blood flow to the kidneys, which facilitates the excretion of lactic acid, uric acid, excessive salts, and other harmful substances from the body. The theaflavins and thearubigins in black tea possess potent antioxidant activity, neutralizing free radicals to help protect cardiovascular health and delay aging.

Friendly Reminder

Although black tea is mild in nature, drinking strong tea on an empty stomach may still cause "tea drunkenness" (symptoms such as heart palpitations and dizziness).

Note:

For an enhanced tea experience, we have pre-portioned each bag with the ideal amount of leaves. You can steep the bag directly, or simply snip it open to brew the whole leaves in a teapot for a traditional ritual.

A Few Sincere Notes

  • Tea culture is part of Chinese heritage, but not part of the price.
    We focus exclusively on the quality of the tea leaves, avoiding excessive storytelling or marketing.

  • Tea is a healthy beverage, but personal taste is not strictly proportional to price. Your own enjoyment remains the most important standard.

  • There is no single correct way to enjoy tea. There are no absolute figures for tea dosage, water ratio, or water temperature. The suggestions we provide are general guidelines; you are free to adjust them flexibly according to your personal taste.

  • Sourced directly from Chinese tea farmers. The tea is ecologically grown, hand-picked, and delivered straight from the garden, ensuring safe and reliable quality.
