How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Smoked Black Tea

Hot Tea:

Steep 1–2 teaspoons of Lapsang Souchong in 200 ml of freshly boiled water (95–100°C) for 3–5 minutes. Strain, breathe in the comforting, smoky aroma, and sip slowly. Add a dash of maple syrup or a splash of almond milk for extra warmth if desired.

Suggested Ritual:

As your tea steeps, find a quiet, cozy space. Light a candle or softly gaze into the steam rising from your cup. With each swirl of steam, imagine gently releasing old patterns or energies you've outgrown.

Hold the warm cup in your hands, grounding yourself deeply in this present moment. With each sip, let the smoky richness guide you toward inner clarity, strength, and gentle transformation.

Leave the final drops as an offering… to the earth, to transformation, or to your own resilient heart.

Note:

We suggest covering your cup while the tea steeps to preserve the warmth, depth of flavor, and restorative qualities of your tea.

FAQs

Is Lapsang Souchong very smoky?

Yes, but beautifully so. Lapsang is traditionally smoke-dried over pinewood fires, giving it a bold, resinous, and woodsy character. If you love campfires, incense, or the scent of forest cabins, this tea may feel like home. For a gentler experience, try brewing it with slightly cooler water or blending it with another black tea.

When is the best time to drink this tea?

In Black Smoke is best sipped when you’re seeking grounding, presence, or quiet focus—early mornings, reflective afternoons, or during creative rituals. Its moderate caffeine content makes it energizing without the sharp edges of coffee.

Does this tea contain any added flavoring or artificial smoke?

Never. Our Lapsang Souchong is traditionally smoked using real pinewood. It’s 100% organic, pure leaf—no additives, no artificial flavors, and no shortcuts. Just fire, leaf, and time.
