A Rare Treat

I am a lover of Lapsang Souchong! I love the smoky, earthy scent and the smooth, rich flavour. Whenever I smell it I am reminded of tea in the woods. Fishing trips that end in a boil up and a cup of tea made over the fire in a tin can. This tea is pleasing to my palate in a physical and mental capacity.

I have purchased a rare Organic Lapsang from the Tong Mu estate in Fijian province in China. This estate is located near Mount Wuyi which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is part of the Chinese biodiversity conservation zone.
This tea is produced by a family whose tea production can be traced back 25 generations and have mastered the art of producing a fantastic Lapsang. The leafs for this tea are a spring growth pluck and only 1000 kilos of Organic Tong Mu Phoenix Tree are produced each year.
The leaf is hand picked and sorted and then smoked in a special centuries old factory that is built over brick ovens. It has a smooth crisp character with a remarkable and heady aroma of a pine and oak wood fire.

This special reserve tea will be available in 25g bags for the cost of $18.00. We only have 20 bags available for purchase at this time.

We, also have three two year aged Pu-erh tea cakes in stock at a cost of $35.00.
