Kombucha Lapsang Souchong

 Sparkling Tea – Unfiltered, Unpasteurized, Non-Alcoholic – Made from smoked Lapsang Souchong black tea from Fujian Province, China

Decidedly smoky: peaty at first sip, then sweet and bitter together, with a volatile acidity that takes flight

The Kombucha Lapsang Souchong by Funky Fermenteria

Lapsang Souchong Kombucha is the boldest and most unconventional creation from Giulia Faraon's lab: decidedly smoky, it's peaty from the first sip, then veers into sweet and bitter notes, taking flight with a refreshing, volatile acidity. The Lapsang Souchong is a Chinese black tea from Fujian with a distinctive smoky aroma, obtained by smoking the leaves over a pine and cedar wood fire: a process that yields a rich and complex profile, with notes reminiscent of smoke. Just four ingredients—water, sugar, tea, and live kombucha culture—for a bottle designed for those who appreciate contrasts and intense flavors, also excellent in mixology with tequila and lime juice. Unfiltered and unpasteurized: the baby scoby in the bottle is the artisan's signature.
 
 
 

The roots of this Sparkling Tea are deep in tradition

Lapsang Souchong is, according to tradition, the father of all black teas—and was born from an incident that has become legendary: it is said that in the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian, the passage of an army delayed the processing of the leaves, and the producers, to avoid losing their harvest, hastily dried them over a pinewood fire. That smoky scent, born of necessity, captivated merchants and spread around the world: in the West, Lapsang became the "whisky of teas," the favorite of lovers of peaty flavors, burning pipes, and winter salons. If Milky Oolong is the silk of Fujian, Lapsang is its fire: transforming it into lively bubbles is the funkiest gesture imaginable—smoke meets fermentation, two ancient arts of time in a single glass.
 
 
 

Choosing Kombucha Lapsang Souchong means taking care of yourself

Live, unfiltered, and unpasteurized, this sparkling tea brings with it all the beneficial benefits of fermentation—microorganisms friendly to the microbiota, organic acids, B vitamins, enzymes—along with the polyphenols of black tea. With just 23 kcal and 4,5 g of sugar per 100 ml, zero fat, and zero salt, it's the intelligent answer to one of the toughest challenges of non-alcoholic drinking: standing up to intense dishes. Where sweet drinks succumb to barbecue and smoked meats, its peaty character holds its own—offering a complexity worthy of a full-bodied drink, without a gram of alcohol and with a boost of intestinal well-being.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Lapsang Souchong Kombucha

• RIBS AND KOREAN BARBECUE – His favorite battlefield: next to glazed and grilled ribs from Medium Mixed Meat Box, smoke calls for smoke: and try the house advice using a drop of kombucha in marinades with Organic Ram Sauce, for more tender and fragrant meat.
• THE SMOKY GRAND FINALE – The dessert for those who love contrasts: homemade truffles with 55% Organic Dark Hazelnut Cream and squares of Dark Chocolate Bar with Hazelnuts: or crêpes with the 100% organic hazelnut cream from Tuscia : the peat and cocoa court each other with every sip.
• SMOKY MIXOLOGY – As Giulia suggests, with tequila and lime juice for a cocktail with a smoky heart — or in a mocktail with ice and lime for the non-alcoholic version: and for the complete tasting evening, combine it with Kombucha Sparkling Tea Milky Oolong: Fujian fire and silk, side by side.
