Lapsang Souchong

This production lot was grown at high elevation in the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian Province. It was not blended with lesser teas from other regions, as is the custom. These plants are older and more care is taken with the smoking process. This results in a tea that is far more subtle and refined. Some call this the origin of red (aka black) tea. The leaves are first withered over fire and rolled, then lightly smoked in bamboo trays over a wood fire.

This distinctive tea was grown high in the Wuyi Mountains and is our take on a well-known tea. Its refined flavor shows balance and a subtle smokiness -- the result of skillfull production and old tea plants.
 
Brewing Notes
  • Start with your favorite spring or filtered water. Heat the water to a boil, or about 210 F.
  • Use about 3 grams of tea per 6 oz serving. Please note, for denser teas this is about 1 teaspoon; for larger-leaf teas this could be up to 2 tablespoons.
  • Steep for 2-3 minutes. Remove the leaves when ready -- rely on taste, not color. Use a large enough strainer basket to allow the leaves to open and release their flavor. Get to know the tea by playing with the amount of leaf, the water temperature, and steeping time. Re-steep to make another cup!
