Souchong teas are made using the larger 3rd and 4th leaf sets, which typically have a stronger flavor than the smaller leaves and buds. Lapsang Souchong tea is cured in Swedish pine smoke. The unique process yields a tea with a strong, smoky aroma in the bag, and nothing but smooth flavor with smoky undertones in the cup.
To prepare:
Steep 1 tsp per 8oz cup of water in 190F for 4-5mins
