Lapsang Souchong

Lapsang Souchong is a smoked black tea, originally from Fujian Province in China but today is mainly produced in Taiwan. The tea leaves are smoked over burning pine wood, and this gives the tea a characteristic odor reminiscent of tar. The taste is reminiscent of smoky whiskey, tar, and even fire. Lapsang Souchong often mixed with milk to obtain a milder character.

In perfumes Lapsang Souchong provides a smoky, warm scent.
