to a burning campfire or ashtray, the flavor of Lapsang Souchong is to the
uninitiated, quite an intense flavor to behold. However, to those who know,
the smoky cup of a high quality Fujian Lapsang is second to none,
mysteriously miraculous, a feast for the taste buds, truly one of those
unique items for which there is no middle ground of appreciation. So how is this
miraculous tea produced and who conceived of it in the first place? Well,
there is only one way to produce it. Souchong leaves, noted for their thick,
rough appearance are withered over burning pine bows, placed in barrels
covered with cloth and allowed to ferment. A process which has gone virtually
unchanged for hundreds of years. And who came up with the idea? Like many
developments in the world of tea there is more than one story. One story
maintains that during the Qing Dynasty an army unit passing through a small
village decided to camp in a tea factory. Once they were gone, the workers
realized that the only way to get the tea ready for the next day’s market was
to dry it over a fire. They did exactly that and voila, Lapsang Souchong was
born. May we suggest you
mull it over a nice hot cup of tea? Inhale the rich smoky aroma and absorb
the mystery of its origins. Next take a sip and note how the smoky sensation
fills your mouth in a way no other tea possibly could. Can you tell which
side of the love/hate relationship we fall on? It is important to steep
Lapsang for slightly less time than you would other teas. Even for a true
connoisseur the flavor of an over-steeped Lapsang can be slightly
overwhelming. The flavor may also be enhanced with a touch of milk and sugar.
In conclusion, we are pleased to offer you this superb tea, especially so
considering its organic status. Unlike many inferior Lapsangs that may be
grown and flavored with chemicals, this tea is 100% natural. So brew a pot
today, and get with the love. Hot tea brewing
method: Bring filtered
or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping
teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz/200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot.
Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes
according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Add
milk and sugar to taste. Iced tea brewing method (Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly
heaping teaspoons of loose tea, 6 tea bags or 6 Q3 single serve packets into
a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold
water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter
fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher
straining the tea or removing the tea bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher
with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing
fresh brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be
poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas
may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and
nothing to worry about.) Shipping We do our best to provide quick service. However, sometimes
