Lapsang Souchong originates from the Tongmu Village, Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, China. The Fukienese word ‘souchong’ literally means ‘little variety’ or subvariety. Lapsang Souchong has had a long history behind it. With more than 400 years of history, it was said that it was the world’s first black tea. Laozong means “old tea bushes” in Chinese. The Bohea Lapsang Laozong Black Tea was made with the tea leaves harvested from the semi-wild tea bushes that are over 30 years old in Tong Mu Guan, a Chinese national nature reserve. This tea is rich in minerals, giving a very deep after taste, lingering finish, rich taste and long lasting flavor.
Brew at 212 F. Good for five brewings.
