Here we have two grades of the famous red (black) tea which come from the Tong Mu area, Wuyi mountain, Fujian province. This tea is made in the traditional way, from local small varietal tea trees, harvested in spring and gently pine smoked.
Becoming rare in the wilds of the supermarkets, these are Lapsangs beyond what your grandfather used to slurp..
Small tight rolled dark leaves with good ratio of buds and a very light smokiness.
Sweet and smooth with ripe fruit following…
Sneak past the fear of the smoke and enjoy some soon...!!
(PS Grade A+ is honestly worth the title and expense, best enjoyed black, this beautifully balanced tea will steep and steep..!!
*Choose the A grade/"every day" version if you prefer your tea with milk, it's still leaps and bounds higher in quality that the regular scrapings from the fireplace..!!!)
