Lapsang Souchong 50g
Lapsang Souchong, famous for its historical and cultural heritage, is considered the origins of black tea. It originates from the Wu Yi Mountains in the Fujian province, a humid and not very sunny region throughout the year. The tea plants grow vigorously, and the young leaves are not very fibrous, thus preserving all their flavors.
Lapsang Souchong is often appreciated for its comforting and complex taste. Its intense flavor and distinctive quality make it a popular choice among tea enthusiasts, especially those seeking bolder flavors.
