Dammann Freres Smokey Lapsang Loose Leaf Black Tea

Our Dammann Freres Smokey Lapsang is a distinctive loose leaf black tea with an assertive smoky aroma that becomes softer, subtler and more delicate once infused. Inspired by the aromatic character of traditional Lapsang Souchong, it brews to a wonderfully copper-coloured cup with smoked wood depth and a smooth, warming finish.

Dammann Freres Smokey Lapsang Loose Leaf Black Tea

Dammann Freres Smokey Lapsang is a black tea created to capture the classic smoky profile of traditional Lapsang Souchong in a more refined, approachable style. Dammann Freres describes the dry aroma as assertively smoky, yet notes that the fragrance becomes milder, subtler and even delicate after infusion.

It is a tea of real personality: bold enough to intrigue, but polished enough to enjoy slowly as a thoughtful afternoon or cold-weather cup.

Smoky, Woody and Surprisingly Refined

In the cup, this Dammann Freres Smokey Lapsang brews to a warm copper infusion with pronounced smoked wood character. The aroma is immediate and distinctive, while the flavour softens beautifully once brewed, becoming smoother and more balanced than the dry leaf might suggest.

Dammann Freres places the tea within its spicy and woody tasting family, with smoked wood as the defining note.

A Dammann Freres Interpretation of Lapsang Souchong Character

Rather than presenting this as a conventional straight Lapsang Souchong, Dammann Freres names the blend Smokey Lapsang and describes it as reproducing the aromatic palette of the traditional style. That distinction is useful for customers: it signals a smoky black tea with the familiar Lapsang profile, but shaped with the maison’s more refined blending approach.

A Memorable Smoky Black Tea

Dammann Freres Smokey Lapsang is ideal for tea drinkers who want something more distinctive than a standard black tea. Its smoky depth makes it especially appealing alongside savoury foods, cheese, dark chocolate or simply enjoyed on its own when the moment calls for a more characterful cup.

How to Brew Dammann Freres Smokey Lapsang

Use water at 90°C and infuse for 3 to 5 minutes, following Dammann Freres’ official brewing guidance.

A 3-minute brew gives a lighter, more restrained smoky cup. A 5-minute infusion develops fuller body and deeper smoked wood character. Drink it plain first to appreciate the balance of the blend; a small splash of milk may be added if preferred.
