    Lapsang Tea

    4.8
    Rated 4.8 out of 5 stars
    566 Reviews
    If you're a fan of oaked wine or whisky, our Lapsang Souchong will be your new favourite. This black Chinese tea has been smoked for deep, earthy goodness. But it's still fairly light and ever-so-slightly-sweet, so you'll be able to reach for it slightly earlier than your usual tipple.
    Smoky & Earthy
    Try Lapsag wih fluffy cheese scones with a smear of salted butter. Belting.

    Shipping is free over £25 (£3.95 below £25). Place your order before 5pm and we'll ship it that same day (Mon-Fri). It'll go Tracked Next Day with Royal Mail, unless you need DHL Next Day which is £10. International is little different, click here.
    As long as it’s unused and boxed you can send it back, but we recommend you to get in touch first to see if we can help. You’ll have to ship it back to us yourself, and we recommend using tracked delivery.

    Make sure you write us a note with your details in the box so we know who it’s from. Once it arrives, we’ll get your refund or exchange sorted.

    Brewing Tip

    Your tea will start tasting bitter if it’s left to brew for too long so if you fancy a stronger cup, add some more tea leaves.

    If you're a fan of oaked wine or whisky, this will be your new favourite. This black Chinese tea has been smoked for dark, earthy goodness. It’s still fairly light and ever-so-slightly sweet, so you'll be able to reach for it a bit earlier in the day than your usual tipple.

      smoky reassurance

      I have been waiting for this to come back into stock. Glorious on its own, or cut with Darjeeling if you want it softer.

      Lapsang tea + delivery

      I'm disappointed that my Lapsang tea doesn't smell or taste as richly smokey nor as black or large leaves as my previous order.

      I'm also disappointed to see that you have switched from Royal Mail to Evri delivery service. My order arrived more than 5 hours after estimated delivery slot.

      The best!

      So hard to get Lapsang tea now and this is really good. There was a delay with shipping one time and customer service was great.
