This delicious pine-smoked Lapsang Souchong has a medium to strong smoke profile. Very similar to a Tiger black Lapsang tea.

An unmistakable full-bodied black tea to start your day with, a pleasantly pungent and sophisticated brew to enjoy during the day, and a fantastic mind poker, the perfect cup next to your screen in the home office.
