Lapsang Souchon

Available from B. Fuller's Mortar & Pestle when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

The loose tea leaves of this black tea are smoked over green pine roots in the final oxidation process, producing this heavy, full-bodied black tea. The aroma is heady- but don't be afraid; the thick, tobacco and char smell turns into a mellow sweetness when brewed right. A tea to remember!
