Description
Ceylon Souchong Tea from Herman Teas is a distinctive smoked black tea exclusively from Handunugoda Tea Estate, offering a bold twist on the classic Lapsang Souchong tradition. Unlike pine-smoked Chinese versions, this artisanal creation is smoked over cinnamon wood from the estate’s own pesticide-free plantations, infusing the large, mature leaves with warm, aromatic cinnamon essence alongside gentle smokiness. The result is a full-bodied brew with red-orange liquor, potent notes of pinewood smoke, fresh cinnamon, light malt, and a touch of lemony brightness—culminating in a sweet, pleasantly smoky aftertaste.
This unique smoked tea captivates adventurous palates, delivering complexity without overpowering harshness. Perfect for cozy evenings or as a conversation starter, enjoy it straight to appreciate the layered flavors, or with a hint of milk for added smoothness. Rich in antioxidants, it provides a comforting boost while celebrating Sri Lankan innovation in tea processing.
Handcrafted in the estate’s coastal biodiverse haven—where tea harmonizes with cinnamon, rubber, and spices—this Ceylon Souchong showcases Handunugoda’s commitment to sustainable, creative excellence. A rare gem for tea connoisseurs seeking smoky sophistication with an exotic twist—limited and unforgettable.
