Organic Bohea Lapsang Black Tea | Wuyi Bohea Hong Cha
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.
Certified organic by the Soil Association.

Fabulous smoky tea for a rainy British afternoon...
Lapsang has always been a favourite, with its peaty, smoky aroma redolent of an Islay malt. The Bohea is sublime - a gentle peatiness on the nose with a warming, rich flavour that dispels winter blues and makes you think of log fires and leather armchairs. Ideally leave a good five minutes to infuse. Perfect on its own, or with fruit cake and a slice of Cheshire cheese.
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.
