Vendor Notes
This unique black tea offers a robust and sweet foundation, typical of a rich Yunnan black tea with pronounced chocolatey and malty notes. It is exquisitely laced with the distinctive, thick pine smoke, a result of being traditionally smoked in a veteran Lapsang smokehouse in Tongmuguan.

How should I brew 2023 Lapsun?
