Organic Black Tea

Organic Lapsang Souchong

love this tea, it is my very favourite of our organic black teas. The smell of it just draws me in and the taste is just delicious. A strong smoky, gutsy tea reminiscent of a billy tea brewed over the campfire, while you waken to a crisp slightly cool morning at the campsite, birds chirping their morning wake up call, hands delicately wrapped around your cuppa while the aromas wash over you waking your senses & invigorating you for the day to come!

Originally hailing from the mountainous Wuyi region in the Fujian province of China, it is made from the leaves a few steps down from the bud. It differs in its making to other black teas, instead of being laid out in the air to dry it is dried by a pine wood fire. This was believed to come about because a troop of soldiers passed through a village where they lodged the night in a tea factory. This inconvenience of the soldiers as guests slowed the tea factories tea making processes, so they had to speed up the drying and to do this they lit fires of pine and hence the tea becoming infused with its distinctive smokiness!

Believed to help with improving a lowered immunity, lessening inflammation, reducing weight gain, decreasing the risk of illness i.e. cardiovascular disease, lowering cholesterol, protecting against colds & the flu. A great coffee alternative as the caffeine content in tea is progressively released into your body instead of all at once, giving you the necessary energy you need throughout the day. Tea contains the important amino acid l-theanine, which helps to explain the above action as it helps to counteract any extreme action of caffeine by imparting a relaxing effect, calming your body & mind, improving your concentration, while still feeling alert & full of energy. Of course you should always use in conjunction with a healthy diet & lifestyle. But what a gorgeously smokey rich flavour to enjoy on a daily basis!

For Best Flavour Brew 1 tsp at approx 100 degrees C 3-7 min, with or without milk
