About this Tea:
Elevate your tea-drinking experience with this blend of smoky elegance and citrus bliss. London Lapsang Earl Grey combines the classic flavors of a creamy Earl Grey tea with the sophisticated smoky cedarwood qualities of Lapsang Souchong. Whether you're a seasoned tea enthusiast or just beginning your journey into the world of luxury tea, this blend will captivate your senses.

The black tea is infused with the smoky character of Lapsang Souchong, which undergoes a unique production process that involves smoking the tea leaves over pinewood fires. Lapsang Souchong gives this blend a bold, robust flavor and aroma with prominent notes of smokiness, smooth pine undertones, and a subtle sweetness. The intense aroma of campfire smoke may be daunting, but the tea itself is lighter with a nuanced and intriguing profile. Bright bergamot notes add a zesty contrast that complements the deep smokiness. The citrus highlights dance like flames from within the earthy campfire character. Each sip offers complex notes of burnt sugar, sweet orange, and tart lemon. Candy cardamom layered within soft floral undertones create intricate depth and nuance to the tea. The cup finishes with a mild lingering astringency, a subtle reminder of the blend's black tea roots. If the smoky character of the tea is too intense for your palate, a splash of milk creates a creamy richness that softens the profile, while a dash of sugar enhances the natural sweet citrus character of the tea.
