Lapsang Souchong Red Tea (Smoked) — Tongmu, Wuyi Mountains

Classic smoked Lapsang Souchong from Tongmu village (Wuyi Mountains) — one of the earliest black teas in history, considered the origin of the entire category of black tea.
Grown at an altitude of 800–1500 meters in misty conditions with strong temperature differences, which creates a rich and multi-layered flavor profile.
The dry leaf is large, tightly twisted, dark, with an oily sheen and a distinctive aroma of pine resin.
The aroma is deep and expressive: pine smoke combined with sweet notes of dried longan. The infusion is bright orange-red, clear and vivid, often with a characteristic “golden ring” on the edges of the cup.
The taste is rich, smooth, and naturally sweet, reminiscent of dried fruit infusion. The smokiness is well integrated into the tea’s structure — refined and not overwhelming.
The aftertaste is long and warm, with a pronounced mountain character. The tea выдерживает 8–11 infusions, gradually revealing its depth.
It provides a warm and comfortable state: gently energizing while relaxing the body. Perfect for cooler weather, after meals, or during the workday.
Brewing Recommendation to Unlock its Depth:

• Water Temperature: 95–100 °C (203–208 °F)
• Tea Amount: 4-5 grams per 150-200 ml
• Steeping Time: First infusion: 10 -20 seconds. This tea excels with multiple short steeps; increase time gradually for subsequent infusions to explore its evolving character.

Experience the dignified strength of ancient wild trees.
