Taylors of Harrogate Lapsang Souchong Black Tea Bags 6×50ct — Smoky, Full‑Bodied 300‑Serve Pack

This classic Chinese black tea is produced using an orthodox method in mountain gardens where freshly plucked leaves are dried above smouldering pine wood and bamboo fires, giving each infusion a bold, smoky aroma and deep amber colour. Packaged as English-style tagless tea bags (2.5 g each), this six-pack of 50 tea bags provides 300 convenient servings for home, office, or hospitality use. Taylors of Harrogate blends and packs the tea to preserve its character while upholding sustainability credentials including Carbon Neutral certification and Rainforest Alliance membership.

What makes Lapsang Souchong taste so smoky and robust?

The signature smoke note comes from drying the black tea leaves over pine wood and bamboo fires, a traditional process that infuses the leaf with resinous, pine-like aromas. The result is a darker liquor and a mouthfeel often described as tarry or robust, with lingering smoky undertones rather than floral or fruity brightness.

• Leaves smoke-dried over pine wood and bamboo fires.
• Orthodox processing preserves leaf character and body.
• Produces a deep amber to reddish-black cup.
• Distinctive smoky aroma with a full-bodied finish.

How should I brew these tagless tea bags for the best cup?

Use one 2.5 g tagless tea bag per cup and pour freshly boiled water over it, then steep for 4–5 minutes to extract the tea’s full flavour. Serve hot, with or without milk depending on preference, or chill and serve over ice for a refreshing cold infusion that keeps the smoky profile intact.

• One tea bag per 200–250 ml cup.
• Pour just-boiled water (100°C/212°F) over the bag.
• Infuse 4–5 minutes; longer for stronger taste.
• Enjoy hot, milk-added, or chilled over ice.
