China: Zheng Shan Smoked

Zheng Shan Smoked

Crafted in the traditional style of Tongmu in the Wuyi Mountains, this smoked Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong (Lapsang Souchong) is dried over pinewood fires, imparting a distinctive yet refined smokiness. Beneath the aromatic veil of resin and campfire lies a smooth, naturally sweet black tea with notes of dried longan, dark honey, and warm wood. The body is full and rounded, with a lingering finish that balances gentle smoke, malt, and subtle fruit. Bold yet elegant, this classic tea expresses both tradition and depth in the cup.
