Blended especially for Upton Tea Imports, this tea is a pleasing and subtly complex variation on a rich, smoky classic. The perfect gift for the Lapsang Souchong drinker who seeks a less smoky cup.
Steeping Suggestions
Leaf Quantity: 2.25 g/6oz cup Steep Time: 4 min. Water Temperature: 212 degrees (boiling)
This is actually the least smoky Lapsang Souchong that Upton carries. It took me a little time to get used to it, but now I really enjoy this multifaceted tea. A big plus for me is the lower caffeine, as I am getting more sensitive to caffeine as I get older. Subjectively I would guess it has about half the caffeine of a normal black tea.
