London Lapsang Earl Grey

London Lapsang Earl Grey – Smoked Bergamot Black Tea with Cardamom

London Lapsang Earl Grey is an aromatic black tea blend that brings together the campfire smoke of Lapsang Souchong and the familiar bergamot citrus of Earl Grey. Fresh cardamom and blue cornflowers finish the mix, producing a smooth, smoky and sophisticated cup that gives tea shops and cafes a distinctive alternative to standard Earl Grey.

Lapsang Souchong originated in China centuries ago, and legend holds that its smoky character was discovered by accident when tea leaves were exposed to wood-fire smoke. Today the effect is produced intentionally: fresh leaves are withered over an open fire, then pan-fired, rolled and oxidized. In this blend that smoke is balanced with bergamot, cardamom and cornflowers. The aroma is deep campfire smoke lifted by fresh bergamot and cardamom, the flavor is bright citrusy bergamot over a smooth black tea body with a touch of aromatic cardamom, and the finish is smooth with gentle, lingering smokiness.
