Rich, excitingly pungent, full of the rounded almost peaty smoke notes given by cunningly banked fires of local pine. Complex and teasing with a hazel-sweet freshness behind the supple smoke.

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 bark-less pine wood fires gives Wuyi Bohea soft, lingering smokiness, making it an incredibly easy-to-slip-down and sophisticated after dinner tea.

Jing Bohea Lapsang Souchong - "Verdict: 10/10 - Martin Isark

"This is the best lapsang I have ever tasted, with a colour like golden straw. The flavour has a delicate smokiness which is mixed with hazelnuts. It is like an orchestra playing on the palate. Full marks."

Appearance: Dusky, thick twists of crow-black leaf

Infusion: Deep, burnished hazel to the rim

Aroma: A rich, complex aromatic embrace combining open-fire, log-cabin warmth with ruffled earth and charred nut shells

Taste: Lively yet soft-textured and full, with great aromatic excitement: woodland smoke meets the nourishment of grain and dark spice. The finish is serene, poised, almost sweet with little palpable grip but great aromatic harmony and power
