Lapsang Souchong Black Tea - character and origin from Fujian
Lapsang Souchong black tea is a distinctive black tea from Fujian, China. This traditional Chinese black tea is known for its pronounced smoky aroma and deep, powerful character.
The flavor profile is smoky and earthy, with warm, woody nuances. Its pronounced smoky character is combined with the full flavor of black tea, resulting in a long, aromatic finish.
Lapsang Souchong is historically associated with the Wuyi region in Fujian. In the traditionally smoked style, the tea leaves are exposed to wood smoke during processing, creating the characteristic smoky, woody aroma. This makes Lapsang Souchong stand out clearly from fruitier or maltier black tea styles.

The region is particularly famous for its refined oolong teas, including Wuyi Rock Tea and Tie Guan Yin, as well as for white and black teas.
