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.
