Organic Cherrywood Lapsang
Organic Cherrywood Lapsang
正山小种
Smoked black tea has been arriving from China since the early days of tea clippers, when it was known as Bohea tea - the spelling in local dialect for Wuyi Mountains. Our Cherrywood Lapsang takes a black tea from Yunnan Province, China and pairs it with cherrywood smoke for an outstanding flavour combination. The smoking takes place in the UK where a special process to filter smoke from cherrywood has been developed. The filtration removes acridity and other impurities, which results in a greater flavour clarity and smoothness to the finished tea.
- Cultivar - Da Ye and Yun Kang #10
- Picked - April-September 2022
- Oxidisation level - 100%

Twisted black broad leaves with yellow-orange tips

Creamy smoke harmoniously balanced with malty depths of black tea, complementary sweet aromatic woody notes
