Introducing our Smoked Lapsang Souchong Classic Flavor Premium Level, a tea that embodies the essence of the prestigious Wuyi Mountain region, particularly the renowned Tongmu area. This tea is not just a beverage; it's a journey through history and tradition, offering a sensory experience that is both profound and delightful.

Our premium Smoked Lapsang Souchong is a testament to the quality derived from Tongmu's high-altitude tea farms. The elevation at which our tea leaves are harvested plays a crucial role in enhancing their flavor, making them more sought-after and, as a result, more valuable. While the entire Wuyi Mountain area is known for its excellent teas, those originating from Tongmu are particularly prized for their superior taste and aroma.

The Smoked Lapsang Souchong Classic Flavor Premium Level is steeped in history, tracing its origins back to the early days of China's flourishing tea trade during the Ming Dynasty. Known as the first black tea ever produced, Lapsang Souchong has since secured its position as a beloved staple in both Chinese and Western cultures. Initially part of the Bohea category, which also encompasses Wuyi Rock Tea, this variety was historically traded under the name Bohea—a term synonymous with the rich, volcanic soils of the Wuyi Mountains.

Our Lapsang Souchong is distinguished by its unique preparation method. The leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant are meticulously smoke-dried over pinewood fires, resulting in an enchanting blend of sweet and smoky flavors that evoke the essence of resin and pine. In response to environmental considerations and market preferences, we also offer an unsmoked version that has gained popularity for its subtler taste profile.

The aroma of our Smoked Lapsang Souchong Classic Flavor is unmistakably earthy and reminiscent of a cozy autumn campfire. Harvested from the robust Bohea cultivar in Fujian's Wuyi Mountains, the larger and coarser leaves contribute to a full-bodied and richly textured brew.

Crafted from leaves handpicked in the protected natural environment of Tongmu within the Mount Wuyi National Park, our tea is not only delicious but also produced with the utmost respect for ecological preservation. The smoking process utilizes local pine wood from the Wuyi Mountains, ensuring an authentic flavor that faithfully represents the original character of Lapsang Souchong.

At our shop, all varieties of Lapsang Souchong, Wuyi Rock Tea, and other Bohea teas hail from the esteemed Wuyi Mountain area. We pride ourselves on offering genuine, high-quality Bohea teas in various grades, including the most exquisite selections from Tongmu.

With every sip of our Smoked Lapsang Souchong Classic Flavor Premium Level, you'll savor not just a cup of tea but a piece of history and a tribute to the art of tea-making in the Wuyi Mountains.
