Wuyi Star Tea - Lapsang Souchong

Smoke-dried over pinewood, this distinctive black tea delivers an unmistakable campfire aroma balanced by deep, malty smoothness. Full-bodied and complex, each sip reveals layers of pine resin, gentle sweetness, and smoky richness—making it a favourite for those who appreciate bold, sophisticated teas. Naturally rich in tea polyphenols, it can be enjoyed on its own, with a splash of milk, or as the foundation of a robust blend.
