Emperor Butterfly Lapsang Souchong

Emperor Butterfly Lapsang Souchong is a statement tea — a premium pine-smoked loose leaf black tea with depth, aroma and a finish so clean it’s almost suspicious.

This is Lapsang done properly: bold campfire smoke and resinous pine up front, then a deep, dark malty backbone underneath that keeps it rich rather than ashy. The smoke doesn’t bully the cup — it frames it — leaving a long, warming finish that lingers like the last embers of a fire.

Big flavour, zero fuss, and strangely addictive once you’re in on it. Perfect for cold evenings, stormy afternoons, whisky-drinkers (you know who you are), and anyone who likes their tea with a bit of theatre.
