Description

High in the Wuyi mountains (Wuyisan) in China is the remote village of Tong Mu. The Su family, spanning three generations, meticulously handpicks tea leaves to craft this tea. Mike has visited them several times. However, it is now off-limits to Westerners. It was here that Lapsang Souchong originated. The locals would create smoky fires from the local pine, which naturally gave the tea leaves a smoky scent. So curl up next to a cozy fire and enjoy this delicious tea.

Ingredients

Black tea.
