THE INGREDIENT
Black tea, pure — smoked & single-origin
This variety consists of 100% a single organic ingredient — no blends, no added flavourings:
Black tea (Lapsang Souchong, Wuyi region): hand-picked tea leaves from Fujian, traditionally smoked over pinewood, from certified organic farming
What does Lapsang Souchong mean? The name derives from the Chinese "Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong" (正山小种) — which translates roughly as "small variety from the proper mountain". Smoking over pinewood is a centuries-old tradition from the Wuyi region that gives the tea its unmistakable aroma.
BREWING
How to brew the perfect cup — plain or as a cooking ingredient
Lapsang Souchong copes very well with hot water, which brings out its intense smoky note. We recommend trying the tea plain at first — milk and sugar are traditionally used only rarely:
📌 Classic preparation
Water temperature: 95–100 °C (freshly boiled)
Dosage: 1 heaped tsp per 250 ml (~2 g)
Steeping time: 3–5 minutes
Enjoy: traditionally plain — the smoky character speaks for itself
🍳 As a cooking ingredient — the secret variation
Lapsang Souchong is suitable not only as a beverage but also as a seasoning component in cooking
Use brewed tea to add a smoky depth to soups, sauces or marinades
Also usable for smoking tofu, tempeh or other dishes — a speciality of Asian cuisine
