About This Tea

Taylors of Harrogate has been blending tea in Yorkshire since 1886 and remains an independent family company to this day. Their Lapsang Souchong is created in the mountains of China using one of the oldest tea making methods in the world - black tea leaves dried on bamboo over smoking pine wood fires, which gives the leaves a deep, rich, uniquely smoky character that no other tea producing method can replicate. Ingredients: black tea, smoke. Rainforest Alliance certified. Carbon neutral certified.

Bold, smoky, and unmistakably distinctive. The smokiness is genuine rather than flavoring - it comes entirely from the pine wood firing process and is present throughout every sip. Less aggressive than some Lapsang Souchongs, with a warm, rich complexity underneath the smoke that rewards drinking without milk, though a splash softens the intensity for those who find it too powerful on its own.

How to brew the perfect cup
  1. Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool.
  2. Steep for 3 to 4 minutes. Over-steeping makes it bitter.
  3. Try it without milk first - the smoky character comes through cleanest without it.
  4. A splash of milk softens the intensity if you prefer a more rounded cup.
How does it compare?

Scotch and Abram's Russian Caravan and Brodies Russian Caravan both use Keemun and Oolong for a gentler, more approachable smokiness - the natural step down if Lapsang feels too intense. Taylors Assam is the same quality, same brand, without any smoke - worth comparing to appreciate what the pine firing process actually adds to the cup.
