Description
Authentic and rare (unlike most tea going by this name) our Lapsang Souchong comes from Tong Mu, the tiny village in the Wuyi Mountains where it was invented in 1610. The first of all other black teas, it is still made today using traditional artisan techniques with the leaves lightly smoked over smouldering pine wood embers.
