Product Details
Weight: 50 g
Lapsang Souchong, otherwise known as Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong 正山小种, is considered to be the original black tea with a history extending well over 400 years.

The tea we present here is the original Lapsang Souchong 'non-smoked' hong cha style of tea. It yields a rich 'non aggressive' brew having virtually no astringency and a silky character. It is clean and bright on the palate with accents of dried plum and a delicate malty finish.

The traditional name adopted in the Fujian province is Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong [正山小种], 'Small Leaf Variety from the Original Mountain'. Or just call it "Non-smoked Lapsang Souchong".

The smoked style, which was adopted in the west, evolved through interesting “accidents“ or unexpected, shall we say, turn of events.

Certainly a number of batches that were dumped in the Boston Harbour during the great 'Boston Tea Party' included Lapsang Souchong 'smoky style'.

This tea here however is the original non-smoke style and is a welcome addition to our extending Sōshin Tea line - here a hong cha black tea variety.

Recommend you try 6-7 grams in in a 150 ml vessel for a series of quick flash steeps gradually extending in length for a rewarding and unique brew to sip.
