Lapsang Souchong infusers contain exquisite black tea leaves harvested in China’s Fujian province. Among tea aficionados, Lapsang Souchong is venerated for its deep, smoky profile and enticing, crisp liquor. Its leaves are picked from the lower part of the plant, and have a more striking, robust quality than the upper leaves. They are withered, rolled and smoked over smoldering pinewood that gives them a distinctly smooth, almost spicy flavor, with hints of sweet hazelnut. This tea was a favorite of Winston Churchill, who enjoyed mixing it with a shot of Scotch, and of nineteenth century American pioneers, who learnt of it from Chinese immigrants.
This tea comes in a box of 48 infusers. These silken tea bags are specially designed to create a potent, flavorsome cup once steeped, and have an elegant pyramid design. They are also made from recyclable, gluten-free fibers, making them food-safe and environmentally friendly.
