Smoky Teas








If you are curious about smoky teas or already enjoy their strong unique flavour these are three we think you should try!




China Tarry Lapsang Souchong

This tea has large, dark, rolled leaves and a characteristically strong smoky flavour. This smoky flavour is traditionally achieved by smoke-drying the leaves over a pinewood fire. The strong unusual flavour of this tea means most tea drinkers will love or hate it, but if you have never had this tea it defiantly worth a try.
The unique flavour of this tea means it is best enjoyed black and brewed 3-4 minutes.



Russian Caravan

This tea is a medium strong tea that has a lighter flavour than the China Tarry Lapsang Souchong. The name of this tea is deceiving, although the tea sounds like it is from Russia it is actually Chinese. The name Russian Caravan refers to the trade route when tea travelled through Russia to reach Europe where tea was highly sought after. This is one of the most popular of The Tea Centre teas, it can be enjoyed with or without milk and is traditionally sweetened.



This is a lightly smoked flavoured black tea. This tea is blended with jasmine flowers, lemon peel & rose flowers which adds a light floral flavour.
Sir John can be enjoyed both black or with milk and is good starting point if you have never tried smoky teas before.





Enjoy!
