Himalayan Lapsang Souchong Tea & Pine-Wood Smoked Black Tea
Our Himalayan Pine-Wood Smoked Black Tea is an ancient and much loved smoked black tea, known for its smoky aroma and a sweet pine flavor. Large tea leaves are dried over smoky pine fires to make this Smoked Black Tea.
This fully oxidized tea, with rich, stronger flavors and a golden bright colour that develop during the oxidation process. Tea leaves, grown lovingly in our tea estates nestled in the Himalayas situated over 4,000 to 6,000 feet in altitude, are rolled and undergo low level fermentation to create this brisk, light and floral tea with fruity notes. Every sip of this smooth liquor is marked by a pleasing astringency.
