Lapsang Souchong (Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong)
The famous black tea from the Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province, China. It is considered one of the earliest black teas in history and is prized for its distinct smoky aroma and robust flavor. What we have here is the modern version that does not have any smoky aroma and focuses more on the fruity and floral notes.
