Lapsang Souchong originates from the Tongmu Village, Wuyi Mountain in Fujian, China. The Fukienese word 'souchong' literally means 'little variety' or subvariety. Lapsang Souchon has had a long history behind it. With more than 400 years of history, it was said that it was the world’s first black tea.
The Lapsang Souchong was made of the tealeaves harvested from Wuyi Mountain. It hasn't been dried with smoldering pine fire so it is mellow, sweet and not so smoky like the traditional types. The Lapsang Souchong is a perfect choice for those who wish to try Lapsang Souchon while don't like its strong smoky taste. |
