Produced in forested areas with a strong presence of fog, Lapsang Souchong tea was one of the first teas to be produced in Chinese territory.

This infusion is recommended as a complementary ingredient in cooking, especially with fish and spices. This powerful caffeine-rich tea contains a strong and long-lasting aroma obtained through brief woody touches from the sandalwood trees. Its smoky flavor results from the drying process in bamboo baskets and the smoking of the leaves with smoke from pine fires.
