What does it taste like?Deeply mellow with delicious smoky tones.Where does it come from?Tea is produced a little differently in the Fujian province of China. Following an age old method, the tea leaves are laid in bamboo baskets and dried over glowing pinewood embers. This imparts the wonderful smoky flavour our Lapsang Souchong is renowned for.What makes this tea different?There isn't a scent or flavour more distinctive than Lapsang Souchong. It's all down to the pinewood smoke that permeates the tea leaves when they're being dried.The journey from the tea garden to your cup...When it comes to tea we're a little different from everybody else. The way we buy and blend is unique; we choose from more origins than anyone else and have a master blender dedicated to each of these locations. What they don't know about their tea gardens and where to find the best quality, isn't worth knowing. It is said that 7 is a lucky number, for us it's the number of times the master blenders taste each batch to make sure that the quality from its exotic origin reaches your cup.If you like to drink yours intense, we think you'll also like Twinings Earl Grey.Discover something new with Twinings.By Appointment to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Tea & Coffee Merchants R.
