Lapsang Souchong/ Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong tea, is the original, lightly smoked Chinese black tea, made from fresh spring tea leaves from Wuyi Shan mountain region.

The leaf made of dried small leaves that are a dull jet black, with no golden tips, is given a light ‘cold smoking’ during process baking teas on pine wood, which impart this tea a lightly-smoked character while maintaining flavor and finesse. Or it can be manufactured as a black tea but without the smoking step, which is rare in the Chinese tea market.

A smooth mouth feel and delightful bright quality are showcased in this fine Lapsang Souchong selection. Rich smoky notes balanced with a light, lingering sweetness in the whiskey-colored liquor.
