Tea Garden

Lapsang Souchong (Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong), originating from Tongmu Village in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian Province, is one of China's most distinctive black teas. It is known for its unique pinewood-smoked aroma, smooth texture, and long-lasting sweetness. The tea leaves are carefully hand-picked and undergo traditional withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying over pinewood fires, giving it a characteristic smoky fragrance. The infusion is a deep amber-red color, offering a rich, mellow taste with hints of dried fruit, caramel, and a subtle smokiness. Lapsang Souchong is widely appreciated by tea lovers worldwide for its bold yet refined flavor.

Tea Features

Flavor


Lapsang Souchong presents a bold yet balanced flavor. The initial taste is smoky and slightly woody, followed by sweet notes of caramel, dried longan, and a touch of spice. The finish is smooth and warming, leaving a pleasantly lingering aftertaste.

Leaves


The tea leaves are long, slightly twisted, and dark brown, with a rich and fragrant aroma. When brewed, they unfurl to reveal a reddish-brown hue, demonstrating the tea’s premium quality.

Cup


Porcelain or clay teacups are ideal for savoring Lapsang Souchong. Porcelain cups enhance its layered aroma, while clay teapots help to mellow the smoky notes, allowing a fuller and more refined tea experience.

Brewing Guide

Teapot

Add 5-8 tea leaves per 100-300 milliliters of water (80°C water temperature). Steep for 1-2 minutes. This tea is suitable for multiple infusions, with each steeping offering a new layer of aroma.

Glass Cup

In China, it is common to brew tea in a glass cup. Simply place 3-5 tea leaves into the glass cup and pour in 80°C water to enjoy the refreshing aroma and taste. This method also allows you to observe the unfolding of the tea leaves.

Organic Certification

Packaging

For storing Lion’s Peak Longjing, it is best to use a tall, thick-walled porcelain or glass container to protect the tea leaves. In China, people also prefer to brew the tea in tall glass cups for an elegant experience. Another option is using a Gaiwan (盖碗) for brewing, where the leaves can be gently broken and placed in the Gaiwan for infusion.

Storage Recommendations

For best preservation, Lion’s Peak Longjing should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and humidity. A sealed tea canister or paper tea box is ideal for maintaining freshness. The container should be made of food-grade materials with high-quality moisture-proof features to prevent deterioration.
