The roots of this Kombucha are deep in tradition

Il Lapsang Souchong born in the mountains Wuyi, in the Chinese province of Fujian, and its origin is shrouded in legend. It is said that in the 17th century, during the passage of an army of the Qing Dynasty, the soldiers camped in a tea factory, delaying the processing of the collected leaves. To avoid losing the harvest, the farmers quickly dried them on a wood fire. Pine and they sold them anyway: that smoky-scented tea, which they had never produced before, was very popular with the Dutch merchants, and Lapsang became one of the first Chinese teas exported to Europe.

Even today, the leaves are dried over pinewood fires, giving the tea its unique notes of smoke, resin, and wood. In England, it became the tea of ​​clubs and salons, beloved for its bold character, and in recent times it has also conquered the kitchen, where chefs use it to smoke meat and fish. In this kombucha, Lapsang meets fermentation: the result is a drink unlike any other.
