Vendor Description
A blend of our own aged Yunnan raw Puer maocha spanning the mid-2010’s, sent to a smokehouse in Tongmuguan village 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 perfect fit for Scotch whisky lovers and cigar fans 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. Smoked and meaty, with herbaceous tobacco aromas and a middle aged woody incense at the base.
