LAPSANG SOUCHONG
Pine-smoked Black
Originally known as "Small leaf Zheng Shun Mountain Tea." In the early 19th century the name changed to Lapsang Souchong; the process of curing the tea leaves changed also. At first wood-fired woks were used, but later, by request of English merchants, bamboo baskets were hung above smoking pine ashes, allowing the leaves to absorb the flavor. A smooth and rich tea, with a pronounced smoky note, best served with a hardy meal.

TONG MU LAPSANG SOUCHONG
Fine leaf, rare tea from Tong Mu county, Fujian Province, China.
Also known as Zhen Shan Xiao Zhong; grown at elevations more than 6,500 ft. Produced in small quantities, and seldom released for export. The early spring harvest (made up of tips only) is "cold smoked" over pine ashes for a richer bouquet. Later harvests by contrast (made up of larger leaves) are "hot smoked," resulting in a bolder taste. A very special tea.

LAPSANG SOUCHONG Pine-smoked Black Originally known as "Small leaf Zheng Shun Mountain Tea." In the early 19th century the name changed to Lapsang Souchong; the process of curing the tea leaves changed also. At first wood-fired woks were used, but later, by request of English merchants, bamboo baskets were hung above smoking pine ashes, allowing the leaves to absorb the flavor. A smooth and rich tea, with a pronounced smoky note, best served with a hardy meal.	SBT116 4 oz. $13.95	SBT116S 2 oz. $7.65
TONG MU LAPSANG SOUCHONG Fine leaf, rare tea from Tong Mu county, Fujian Province, China. Also known as Zhen Shan Xiao Zhong; grown at elevations more than 6,500 ft. Produced in small quantities, and seldom released for export. The early spring harvest (made up of tips only) is "cold smoked" over pine ashes for a richer bouquet. Later harvests by contrast (made up of larger leaves) are "hot smoked," resulting in a bolder taste. A very special tea.	SBT117 4 oz. $23.95	SBT117S 2 oz. $12.95
