The intense smoke of a campfire… The bark of a good bbq…  The layered flavors of peated whiskey… The warmth of an old vinyl record…   For connoisseurs of any or all of the above, this tea is for you.
Traditionally known as Lapsang Souchong, or Zhengshan Xiaozhong in Mandarin, this ancient black tea is smoked over pine wood to give it a distinctive aroma.  Put on some classic blues and enjoy.
