Description

Lapsang, which is usually not smoked, is the oldest oxidized tea in China. Likely born by chance, it has become a classic that never disappoints. This Lapsang comes from plants that grow in the mountains, and its character expresses the mineral and proud essence of Wuyishan. The village where this tea is harvested is Tongmu Guan, famous for producing the region’s most renowned red teas. To collect these leaves, producers search for wild plants in various areas of the mountain at an altitude of 800 meters. Perfect for any time of day, these beautiful and fragrant leaves will give you a brew with a bright orange color.
We recommend brewing at 90°C in a gaiwan or a 100-120 ml teapot, using 4 grams of leaves. The first infusion should be around 50 seconds, and subsequent infusions should be for 30 seconds.
