Description

Our traditional smoky Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, popularly known as “Lapsang Souchong” was expertly processed using pine wood smoke! The tea is a lovely Wu Yi Mountain area varietal but was roasted/dried with smoke and fire giving it a smoky, fruity, floral and peaty taste. Scotch single malt whisky aficionados who appreciate Lagavulin and Laphroaig will fall in love with this stimulating and complex tea!
