250g China black tea Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong Lapsang Souchong Classic

Chinese black tea "Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong" (Lapsang Souchong) from Fujian province (price per 250 g).

Well-known loose smoked black tea from the mountain area of Wu Yi Shan in Fujian province. Classical sort made with the help of technology of the light smoking.

Black colored, but without glossy shine tea twisted in flagellums. The option is so close as it possible to classics, as in China too smoky, resinous taste does not enjoy wide popularity, so the smoky shade is light, barely felt.

Taste: slightly resinous-acerb with caramel aftertaste (it migt be also called as smack of "burned sugar"), has in many respects something common with Qimen Hong and Yingde Hong, but differs with aftertaste - a little more resinous, than above-named grades. However, it isn't so strongly smoky as the samples that are usually supplied to the European market.
