Description
Tea Legend! Tea Rarity! Red Tea Made Using Ancient Techniques
Farmers’ Tea Produced Using Ancient Technology
Traditional Zheng Shan (Lapsang Souchong) has almost disappeared from the market recently. The reason lies in the fact that its production is a lengthy and meticulous process. Initially, the tea is withered over coals in special two-tiered ovens. Charcoal is evenly placed on the first tier, from which heat and light smoke rise. Bamboo mats serve as the separation between the tiers, where the tea is evenly spread. The leaves need to be stirred every 20-30 minutes for 6-8 hours.
The final stage of making Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong involves smoking the tea over pinewood. The tea is smoked while being stirred for 12 hours. This process gives the tea leaves their distinctive prune and dried fruit aroma and flavor.
It is rumored that even now, Lapsang Souchong is supplied to the English Parliament and the Queen’s residence in the United Kingdom.

Напевно, самий витончений чай з моєї колекціі. Димний аромат не нав’язливий а м’який з легким фруктовим лейтмотивом. П’ється легко та довго, залишає приємний, дорогий стан. Дякую!
