Richly and smoulderingly smoky yet with great harmony and wealth of aroma, leaving an impression of almost peaty warmth.

The difference between Bohea and commercial Lapsang is enormous, perhaps similar to the distinction between mass-produced whiskies and slowly made, properly aged, artisan malts.

Drying the leaves slowly over barkless pine wood fires gives Wuyi Bohea soft, lingering smokiness, making it an incredibly easy-to-slip-down and sophisticated after dinner tea.

Appearance: Dusky, dark, cinder-black twists of whole leaf

Infusion: Surprisingly pale for such a dark tea: deep hazel-yellow with golden rim

Aroma: Calm, serene and reassuringly smoky: the smell of warm sauna pine. Subtle and haunting

Taste: Palate Soft, gently smoky, warm yet refreshing, too, with a supple, creamy, liquorice-root finish.
