Lapsang Souchong Butterfly Smoked Black Loose Leaf Tea

Lapsang Souchong is renowned for its distinctive smoky flavor, a result of the tea leaves being carefully dried over pinewood fires. The result is a rich, robust infusion with a warm, comforting smokiness, reminiscent of a cozy evening by the fireplace.

This black tea comes from the Wuyi Mountains in the Fujian province of China, specifically the Xingchun region, where centuries-old smoking traditions meet modern tea mastery. Whether served hot or iced, it's a connoisseur's choice for anyone who wants real complexity and depth in a cup, not just a basic black tea.

Perfect for:

• Tea drinkers who love bold, smoky flavors
• A cold-weather cup by the fire
• Pairing with barbecue or smoked foods
• An adventurous alternative to a basic breakfast blend
• Iced tea for something different from the usual sweet tea
• Whiskey and bourbon lovers curious about smoky, complex flavors in tea form

Pairs beautifully with:

• Charleston Benne (Sesame) Wafers
• Bourbon Barrel Smoked Charleston Sea Salt Flakes, for a smoke-on-smoke theme
• Edisto Gold Honey

Great as a gift for:

• Adventurous tea drinkers who want something beyond a basic black tea
• Hostess gifts for a tea-focused gathering
• Corporate gifts and client thank-yous
• Wedding or bridal shower favors
• Housewarming gifts, especially boxed up in our Lowcountry Olive Oil Gift Box
