“The path to Heaven passes through a teapot.” – Ancient proverb

Tea is all things to all people. It’s magical like that. If you’re down, it’ll pick you up. If you’re frustrated, it will relax you. It can wake you up when you need it, and put you to sleep when you don’t. It’s perfect for when you’re alone, and equally perfect to share. There’s a reason that cultures the world over have always held a good tea sacred. Few things can so change a person, a mood or an experience. The best thoughts are had over a cup of tea; the best plans are made… because tea isn’t just tea, it’s time. It’s tea time. That may sound simple, but if you’ve really had tea time, you know it’s true.

Just sitting with a cup does wonders for the soul – and for your health. Taking even a little break helps to reduce stress hormones. But tea itself is special; it is filled with powerful antioxidants, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, which have profound effects on the entirety of the body. Some of these may include; reducing the risk of heart disease, lowering cholesterol, reducing blood pressure and blood sugar levels, reducing the risks of certain kinds of cancer and even supporting healthy gut bacteria.

So when you take time for a cup of tea, know that you are really taking time to take care of yourself. And taking care of yourself just feels good.

Lapsang Souchong is a type of black tea that originated from the Wuyi region of the Chinese province of Fujian. It's particularly well-known for its distinctive smoky flavor, which is achieved by drying the tea leaves over pinewood fires.

The term "Lapsang Souchong" translates roughly to "smoky sub-variety" in English. This black tea is typically made from the larger, coarser tea leaves found lower on the tea plant, known as 'souchong' leaves.

While it's revered for its unique and bold taste profile, Lapsang Souchong can vary in strength and smokiness, with some variations providing a softer, fruitier profile and others offering a profoundly smoky, almost tarry, character. It's often used in blends to add complexity, but can also be enjoyed on its own by those who appreciate its unique flavor.

The version used in uure Oak Fire Lapsang Black Tea provides a crisp character with an oak fire aroma, delivering an excellent balance of strength, smokiness, and subtlety, making it a versatile and enjoyable choice for any tea enthusiast.
