This fantastic twist on the classic Smoky Lapsang Souchong takes iconic Chinese Bai Mu Dan white tea (also known as White Peony tea) and gives it the same treatment.
With guidance and influence from specialists working with AVANTCHA, this unique tea was first created in 2016 by tea master Heng Chun Yuan, who has slowly smoked this organic white tea over pine wood in the protected village of Tongmu in the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, China.
The tea is laid carefully on layers of interwoven leaves and bamboo mats to filter the smoke and fragrance the tea naturally. This process takes up to three weeks to achieve the perfect balance, creating a truly beautiful tea full of incredible aroma and flavour. The infusion is a combination of a flowery meadow on a hot summer’s day, with a distinct notes of spicy cinnamon, pine and soft, lingering smoke.
