lapsang souchong black tea
The flavor is good, but doesn't turn dark at all. Leaves are large which may require more per cup than I am used to. Good package, reseals nicely. Different from Twinings' former loose leaf.

Lapsang Souchong is a black tea originally from the Wuyi region of the Chinese province in Fujian, famous for its smoky aroma and flavor. It is one of the oldest and most unique black teas. "Souchong" refers to the fourth or fifth leaves in the bud, which are more coarser than the leaves closer to the bud. The leaves are roasted in a bamboo basket called a honglong, which is heated over pinewood, contributing its characteristic bold campfire taste and scent. As such smoking the tea gives value to less sought after leaves.Â
Ingredients: Black tea from China.
