Lapsang Souchong Slimming Tea is famous for its health benefits as it has been designed to support gentle energy, digestion, and overall wellness.
- Provides a gentle energy boost: Contains caffeine, typically about
50–90 mg per cup (less than coffee), which can help improve alertness,
focus, and mental energy.
- Supports metabolism: It contains
compounds called polyphenols which may modestly support metabolic
activity and fat oxidation when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
-
Promotes heart and vascular health: Studies suggest black tea
polyphenols may help support healthy blood pressure and cholesterol
levels, contributing to cardiovascular wellbeing.
- Aids digestion: The smoky, robust flavour and mild tannins can help stimulate digestion after meals.
-
Rich in antioxidants: Contains theaflavins and catechins, which are
antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and support overall
cellular health.
- Enhances mood and relaxation: Its warming, smoky
aroma is comforting and grounding, which can make drinking it a mindful,
relaxing ritual.
Add 1 teaspoon (2–3g) of Lapsang Souchong loose leaf tea to a 240ml cup, then pour in water heated to boiling (200-212°F), steep for 3-5 minutes in an infuser or pot, then strain; it's a smoky black tea that can be enjoyed plain or with milk/sugar and re-steeped multiple times, with shorter steeps for later infusions to control bitterness.
