brewing-information Description

This rare, long leaf tea gains its distinctive tarry flavor and smoky tang from the pine fires over which it is dried. Rich in taste and smoky aroma, it produces a deep red liquor when brewed.

China Lapsang Souchong has a smokier taste and aroma than our Hu-Kwa Formosan Lapsang Souchong tea and Grace Rare Tea's Lapsang Souchong Smoky #1.

brewing-information  Brewing Information

Brewing Tips: Our China Lapsang Souchong loose tea should be made with cold, filtered water that has been brought to a rolling boil (205-212° F). Using one rounded teaspoon of loose tea or one teabag for each cup required, pour the boiling water over the tea leaves. China Lapsang Souchong should be steeped for 4-5 minutes. Once the ideal brewing time has been reached, the Lapsang Souchong tea leaves should be removed to prevent further steeping. Decant and enjoy!

    Great teas

    We love teas from Mark T. Wendell. We can have really nice teas at home in a part of the world where fine tea is pretty hard to find. And the service from MTW is always accurate and fast. Our best cups of tea are brewed at home with tea from MTW. (I also love the varied selection.)

    Perfect Lapsang Souchong

    I have tried a number of different smokey teas, including Russian Caravan from both Grace Tea and Mark T. Wendell, in addition to Grace's own Lapsang Souchong and Wendell's signature smokey tea. This China Lapsang Sourchong is be far the best of the lot, to my taste. The smokey taste seems more imbedded, not just sprayed on or steamed into the tea, meaning the flavor is consistent and lasts through the entire batch. I have added this into my "permanent" repertoire of teas to drink.

    Best tea, best tea company

    I LOVE the Lapsang and the Hu Kwa, I’ve been ordering pounds of them for years. The Lapsang has a great smoky flavor and the Hu Kwa has a bit more depth and nuance. You can’t go wrong with either.

    LS is less widely offered, yet it is still my favorite brew. Mark T Wendell LS has always been a superior product.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does it take for my order to ship?

    We strive to ship orders within 2-3 days of receipt. However, due to the handcrafted nature of our products, combined with inventory limitations, some orders may take longer to ship. If there is a significant delay in shipping your order, we will contact you directly with details.

    Are your teas cultivated naturally? Are they Organic?

    All our teas are sourced from tea estates, suppliers and importers that we have personally worked with for decades and many for generations! We only purchase teas that have been cultivated naturally, devoid of pesticides and growth agents.

    Teas that have the term “Organic” in the products name have gone through additional certification by the country or origin and USFDA. Even though all our products are natural, we are unable to list them as Organic unless they have gone through these steps. Sometimes, this certification can be costly and time consuming for growers. Each country has different regulations, so many sell the teas to us without this extra labeling.

    How long does tea stay fresh?

    If sealed properly and stored away from extreme hot/cold temps and moisture, tea will stay as flavorful as the day you bought it, even after 18 months.

    How long should I brew my tea?

    Tea brewing times and water temperature can vary between tea varieties. Please consult this link to find the best method for your tea!
