Old School.
Untamed.
Smoked tea is not for everyone. That is the point.
Our Lapsang Souchong is traditionally smoked over pinewood fires in Fujian, China — using methods that predate trends, influencers, and anything described as "smooth with hints of…" This is tea with backbone, not bite.

The Method
What makes
smoked tea special?
It is not about shortcuts or flavouring. It is about time, wood and intention.
Step 01
Traditional Smoking
Naturally smoked over real pinewood fires using time-honoured Fujian techniques. Smoke earned, not added.
Step 02
Unique Flavour
Bold campfire notes balanced with smooth malt, oak, and subtle sweetness beneath the smoke.
Step 03
Aromatic Experience
Crackling fire, ancient forests, cool mountain air. The scent alone tells you this is not everyday tea.
Step 04
For the Bold Palate
An acquired taste, proudly so. For those who seek depth, character, and something that stands apart.

From the Wild
Real reviews.
Real fire.
Definitely smoky and very fresh
"You can tell straight off this is a natural and extremely high grade product. It is intensely smokey when you first open the packet — at first I was putting a pinch in the pot along with some Ceylon and Assam leaves for a smokey hit, or it would have been much too strong. Fantastic value for what it is."
The best Lapsang Souchong Black Tea ever!
"This is some of the best Lapsang Souchong Black Tea I've ever had — it's exceptional, especially that deep smokiness with a really soft finish. Highly recommend."
Favourite Lapsang Souchong
"I'm trying to find the best Lapsang Souchong tea and this is my favourite so far. Much smoother tasting than the Waitrose No1 brand."
The perfect smoky tea
"This stuff is incredible, and I only wish I could buy a bigger bag!"
Excellent
"I have loved lapsang for many a long year. And I have to say, this one is just about the best ever."
Laps Ahead!
"Outstanding tea! It smoked other Lapsangs out of the park for me. Just the right amount of flavour and strength. The packaging was neat and the labelling was funky and different to other brands. Tea-rrific!"
Only the bold brew this

Tea for fire-seekers and rebels — not fence-sitters. Bigfoot says: "If you made it this far, you're probably one of us."
