The secret to the bold, smoky character of our Smoky Mountains Cowboy Chai lies in its star ingredient: Lapsang Souchong. Unlike traditional black teas, this distinctive variety is smoke-dried over pinewood fires, infusing each leaf with deep, campfire-like richness. Every sip carries the essence of the rugged outdoors, making it a tea unlike any other.
This unique process originated in China’s Wuyi Mountains, where tea makers developed the technique centuries ago. Legend has it that during the Qing Dynasty, tea producers were forced to speed up the drying process when soldiers passed through their village, leading them to smoke the leaves over pine fires. What began as an accident turned into a beloved tradition, producing a tea with rich, smoky depth and an unmistakably bold aroma.
What makes Lapsang Souchong in chai so special?
The intense, smoky flavor of the tea balances beautifully with warming chai spices like cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and ginger. The result is a smooth, complex brew with a deep, roasted character, perfect for those who love bold flavors with a touch of adventure.
Sip a cup of Smoky Mountains Cowboy Chai, and let its rich aroma transport you to a crisp mountain morning, where the scent of smoldering embers lingers in the air. Whether enjoyed by a crackling fire or as an invigorating morning brew, this tea is meant for those who crave something a little different—something wild, warming, and undeniably bold.
