Vendor Description

A blend of Yunnan raw Puer, sent to a smokehouse in Tongmuguan village in Fujian to be pine smoked by a veteran Lapsang smoker. The three day smoking process occurs at temperatures from 100C to 120C in an old style Lapsang smokehouse.

A natural fit for cigar lovers and Scotch whisky fanatics who want tea in the morning, but this tea is a surprise that will likely garner even fans who are wary of smoke as well.

Heavy bodied and layered complexity with a tropical fruit aromatics, charred mango sweetness and a bitey huigan [returning sweetness in the mouth]. Campfire smoke lingers atop the cotton candy aspects of the tea. Excellent tea blend for the price range, above daily drinker quality without the higher price tag one would expect.
