Lapsang souchong (/ˌlæpsæŋ ˈsuːtʃɒŋ/; simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Lìshān xiǎo zhǒng) is a black tea (Camellia sinensis) originally from the Wuyi region of the Chinese province of Fujian. It is more commonly named in Simplified Chinese characters (Mandarin zhèng shān xiǎo zhǒng) and in traditional Chinese characters, Japanese kanji (Japanese reading Rapusan sūchon, borrowed from Cantonese) or Korean hanja (Korean reading Jeongsan sojong). It is sometimes referred to as smoked tea (). Lapsang is distinct from all other types of tea because lapsang leaves are traditionally smoke-dried over pinewood fires, taking on a distinctive smoky flavour.
Xiǎozhǒng or Siu2 zung2 ( / ) means "sub-variety". Lapsang souchong is a member of the Bohea family of teas though not an oolong, as are most Bohea teas ("Bohea" is the pronunciation in Minnan dialect for Wuyi Mountains, which is the mountain area producing a large family of tea in South-East China).
