Mariage Frères - Lapsang Chinbara

100 g tin Black tea, authentic smoky lapsang souchong Nowadays almost impossible to find, this authentic Lapsang Souchong from China is smoked over a wood fire in the purest tradition. The golden liquor exhales slightly smoky and pleasantly woody aromas.

Mariage Freres is France's oldest tea house, founded in Paris on June 1, 1854 by brothers Henri and Edouard Mariage. The family's tea trade stretches back to 1660, when their ancestors voyaged on behalf of King Louis XIV and the French East India Company. Today, with a collection of over 1,000 teas, Mariage Freres treats tea the way the French treat wine: with reverence for terroir, vintage, and the art of blending. Their Jardin Premier label guarantees the purest quality, sourced directly from the planter.

Pairs with: Smoked salmon, strong cheese, a campfire, or a cold winter evening.
Perfect for: Smoky flavor lovers, whisky drinkers who want a tea counterpart, and anyone who wants the most distinctive tea in the world.
