Berry tea with Lapsang Souchong is a drink with a mysterious depth of flavor, where the smoky notes of black tea intertwine with the juicy freshness of forest berries. This tea comes from China, where Lapsang Souchong is famous for its unique aroma obtained by drying over pine smoke. In this recipe, its rich flavor is softened by mint for freshness, while the sweet-sour notes of blackberry, raspberry, and cranberry create an exquisite combination. A light acidity from lemon juice enhances the fruity bouquet, and pear syrup adds smoothness. This tea is perfect for cozy evenings, warming with its rich aroma and pleasant astringency or for meditative moments when one wants to enjoy the depth of its flavor.
