Brewing Guide
If using a Gaiwan Gongfu style, infuse 3 teaspoons of Lapsang Souchong Black Tea for 125ml gaiwan in hot water (90℃) for around 10 seconds for the first brew, extending the infusion time for the following brew. If not using a Gaiwan Gongfu style, infuse 3 teaspoons of Lapsang Souchong Black Tea for 125ml teacup, 6 teaspoons for 250ml glass or 12 teaspoons for 500ml teapot steep for around 1-2 minutes. Do not using boiling water because it will destroy the vitamin C and other beneficial contents of the leaves; it will also accelerate the precipitation of phenolic substances such as caffeine and tea polyphenols, which will make tea taste sour and bitter.
Premium Lapsang Souchong Black Tea can be brewed many more times than the standard tea.
Brewing with milk: Brew Lapsang Souchong for around five minutes in hot water (90℃). Then add milk and sugar.

A really special Lapsang Souchong. It has all the subtlety the mass-produced ones lack. The lack of smoking really brings out the special character of this tea. I love that it’s so healthful and packed with polyphenols and other nutrients, too.

As the oldest black tea variety, this tea can be brewed more times than the standard black tea so you get more out of the strongly flavoured leaves.

This is my favorite black tea.So convenient and the pros of having this at night after all the food eaten in a day, just makes me feel like my stomach is doing its job.The quality is great and very special aroma.
