Bold as a campfire on the nose, it grows gentler once in the cup. Smokey Lapsang Tea N°496, from Dammann Frères, one of France’s oldest tea houses, founded in 1692, is a smoked black tea of assertive character that faithfully reproduces the aromatic palette of traditional Lapsang Souchong: smoky on the nose, subtler and more delicate in the cup, with a deep copper color. A tea for lovers of bold, smoky brews, available in a 100g canister or in 24 individually enveloped tea bags. Serve it at brunch with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs.

Add 3 Smokey Lapsang tea bags or 6 g of loose tea, steep for 5 minutes, then remove the bags or strain.
Once the marinade is cool, add the eggs and refrigerate overnight.
