Special Notice – Lapsang Souchong
Dear customer, Our current batch of Lapsang Souchong from China is lighter in aroma, colour and flavour then we have been fortunate to have had in the past.
Lapsang has become a tea so popular that most companies are experiencing either short supplies or changes in quality due to the really high demand from China. In our case we currently have supply but this current batch is not what we are accustomed to. However. I cant alter this seasons’ tea but am hoping for a stronger Lapsang in our November shipment, but as yet I cant be certain as to what it will be exactly.
I will be looking at alternative suppliers but have no guarantee theirs will be stronger.
Please, if you haven’t already, join our Mailing List for our occasional newsletter, by selecting Subscribe on the Top Right corner of the website, and I will post an update specific to the Lapsang in November.
Thank you so much for your understanding, and being a loyal customer of our small Tasmanian business.
Kind regards, Samantha (owner/manager)

My favourite tea. Because of the way it is made, it can vary a great deal in taste. The Art of Tea Lapsang is a very good one, far better than the usual supermarket version which is Twinings. The hotter it is, the nicer it is. It seems that it is supposed to have milk added but I prefer it black and sugarless.

I want to dive into this tea, and just swim around, and live in there. Sometimes I just open up the packet and inhale. Lovely smokiness, not overpowered by tannins. I enjoy it with just a tiny dash of regular or soy milk.

My all-time favourite tea, I agree with Jane, I want to dive in and just bask in everything lapsang souchong. It’s perfect on a rainy, cold day like a best friend, a blanket and a book by a fire or in a meeting at work to take me away… this is heaven in a big, handle-less mug with my hands wrapped around the magic.

We like to say those that enjoy a cuppa of Lapsang REALLY love it, and it definitely seems that’s true for you Maya! Have you tried our other smokey teas – Russian Caravan or Eastern Grey Kangaroo Tea?
Paul Swatman –
Your Russian Caravan and Eastern Grey Kangaroo teas are lovely … but there just is no substitute for teh real thing. What do we want? The Art of Tea’s Lapsang Souchong! When do we want it? Now!!!

Paul – there’s nothing worse than being without your favourite tea! We are working with our supplier to get some more Lapsang in, but in the mean time, if you can give us a call, we can see what we have left. Perhaps we can scrounge a little bit together for you to hold you over.

Art of Tea’s Lapsang Souchong tea is consistently excellent and far better value not like some of the big tea houses and brands around.
