Lapsang souchong is a tea from China whose leaves are smoked as they are dried and the wood used in smoking the tea imparts a very distinctive smokey flavor. I don't drink a lot of tea (I prefer coffee) but lapsang tea is delightful if you like smoked flavors and if you make tea with tea leaves and not tea bags filled with tea leaf dust (American tea is undrinkable if you have grown up in Britain and you use a teapot to brew tea: one teaspoon of leaves for each cup PLUS one for the pot).
