Royal Lapsang

$7.47 ~~$11.85~~ In stock

Royal Lapsang is an exquisite, slightly smoked black tea. With hints of dried plum and molasses, this single origin, smooth tea could easily become your favorite.

This style is more subtle and complex compared to your typical Lapsang Souchong (a bold smoked tea). Robust yet layered with flavor and mouthfeel.

Royal Lapsang’s discovery was an accident! When we qc'ed an order of Lapsang Souchong from China to our previous lot, we wondered if it was smoked at all! Tasting the tea alone without the influence of the smokier version, we realized we had an outstanding tea on our hands. Our source confirmed this was a different style of Lapsang Souchong, with light smoke and preferred over a smokier Lapsang Souchong.

The dried plum note sneaks up on you after the first sip, and the smoke stays gentle instead of campfire-heavy. I've been brewing it plain in the afternoons and the molasses sweetness comes through without any sugar.

I was worried the smoke would overpower everything, but it's actually really gentle and lets the molasses sweetness come through. Smooth enough to drink without milk, which I didn't expect from a smoked black tea.

The dried plum note sneaks up on you after the first sip, and the molasses keeps it from tasting thin. Smoke is there but gentle, more like a whisper than a campfire. Already halfway through the tin.
