Souchong refers to the large leaves used to make this smoky tea. Grown in the mineral rich soil of the Fujian Province in China, the leaves are withered over a smoky pine fire to give it a distinctive smoky flavor that one either seems to love or hate. Also used in Russian Caravan tea to give it a slight smoky flavor.
The strong, assertive flavor of this tea is a good accompaniment to hearty meals and especially with spicy, savory or salty dishes. If you enjoy cheese & crackers on the veranda with your afternoon tea, lapsang souchong might be the tea for you.
