What is Lapsang Souchong?

Lapsang souchong sometimes referred to as smoked tea is a tea originally from the Wuyi region of the Chinese province of Fujian. [1]



History

The story goes that the tea was created during the Qing era when the passage of armies delayed the annual drying of the tea leaves in the Wuyi Mountain. Eager to satisfy demand, the tea producers sped up the process by drying the leaves over fires made from local pines. [1]
