Indulge in the rich, smoky aroma of Whittard Lapsang Souchong, a black tea with a historic 16th century origin. This loose leaf tea offers a unique pinewood finish that has delighted tea drinkers for centuries. Brew it in your favourite infuser for a truly authentic British tea experience.
Smoky Lapsang Souchong is dried over fires of resin-sweet pinewood, a technique discovered by accident back in the 16th century. After a travelling army decided to spend the night in the tea warehouses, there was only one thing to save the tea from the stench: smoking it over local pinewood. European traders soon developed a taste for the astonishingly aromatic loose leaf tea christened Lapsang Souchong - and the rest is history.
