Lapsang Souzhong (100g)

Larger leaves (souzhong) are taken from the lower parts of the tea bush and after fermentation, are roasted on a hot iron plate. The tea is then smoked on bamboo racks over a fire made of green pine logs that are rich in resin. Souzhongs can be smoked to different degrees, and this is a moderately smoked example. It is a classic tea with a dedicated following, famous for its earthy smokiness and roast black colour.
