Which Smoked Tea is Best for You?

Lapsang Souchong Tea

Lapsang Souchong is a famous Chinese smoked tea from Fujian, crafted by drying tea leaves over pinewood fires to create its bold, smoky flavour. Rich, full-bodied, and layered with earthy pine and woodsmoke notes, it offers a warming, distinctive cup unlike any other. Best enjoyed on its own or paired with savoury foods, this smoked black tea is a must-try for adventurous tea drinkers.

Smoky Earl Grey Tea

Smoky Earl Grey combines the bright, citrusy lift of bergamot with subtle layers of smoky black tea for a refined and balanced flavour. Smooth yet bold, it delivers the familiar elegance of Earl Grey with a warming, adventurous edge. Ideal for those who love tradition with a twist, this smoky tea is a standout choice for everyday enjoyment.

Smoky Gunpowder Tea

Smoky Gunpowder Tea is crafted from tightly rolled green tea leaves that release a deep, earthy character with smoky undertones when brewed. Its robust profile is both invigorating and satisfying, offering a full-bodied alternative to lighter green teas. Perfect for tea drinkers seeking something bold and memorable, this smoky blend is a true conversation starter.

Smoky Russian Caravan Tea

Smoky Russian Caravan Tea blends black teas with subtle smoky layers, creating a smooth, full-bodied cup with hints of malt and woodfire. Traditionally enjoyed as a comforting evening brew, it offers depth without overpowering the palate. A refined choice for tea lovers who enjoy bold yet balanced smoky flavours.

Expect bold, smoky flavours with warming depth and earthy notes. Some blends, like Smoky Earl Grey, balance this with a delicate hint of bergamot for a smoother, more refined profile.

Smoked tea is a type of black tea, so it contains a moderate level of caffeine, enough to gently energise without the intensity of coffee.

For the best cup, steep smoked black tea in freshly boiled water for 3–5 minutes. This allows the smoky flavours to fully develop without overpowering the natural character of the leaves.

Smoked teas are naturally versatile. They pair beautifully with savoury dishes, cheeses, and charcuterie, but are just as enjoyable alongside rich chocolate or simply savoured on their own.

Lapsang Souchong is the classic smoked tea, defined by deep pinewood smokiness. Smoky Earl Grey, meanwhile, is a modern twist, blending the familiar citrus brightness of bergamot with subtle smoky layers.
