DESCRIPTION: Smoked Lapsang SouChong (also known as Traditional Lapsang SouChong) is a type of black tea unique to Tongmuguan in Wu Yi Mountain, Fujian, China. It is famous for its pine wood smoking process using horsetail pine wood, which gives it a rich, smoky aroma accompanied by the smells of caramel, pine resin, and even dried longan. The brewed tea is dark amber in color, which gives it a strong visual appeal. The tea is mellow and sweet, and the smoky aroma blends with the tea soup to bring a unique aged woody flavor. Compared with the unsmoked Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, the smoky version tends to be heavier and stronger, which is especially suitable for tea lovers who like the unique smoky flavor.
