Lapsang Souchong Organic
Lapsang Souchong is a deeply aromatic leaf, similar to a smoky campfire, yet infuses a cup with a distinctive smoothness, topped off by hints of a signature smoked pine. This tea creates a beautiful golden-coppery liquour.
Contains Caffeine
Ingredients: Black Tea
How to brew
- Tea: 2.5 g of dry tea per 8 fl oz (240 ml) of water

- Steep time: 3–5 minutes, then strain or remove the tea bag.
- Cups per ounce: Approximately 11 cups per ounce (28.35 g), using 2.5 g per 8-fl-oz cup. This estimate counts the first infusion only.
Start with this guide and adjust to taste. A larger mug or stronger brew uses more tea and makes fewer cups per ounce.
