Lapsang Souchong is the world's oldest black tea variety. It has a history of more than 400 years, dating back to the middle and late Ming Dynasty. It was created by local tea farmers in the Wuyi Mountain area, Fujian province.
Our Premium Lapsang Souchong is not smoked, which means it remains dark brown, nearly black in color. The leaves are stout with a slight twist. The tea soup is bright red. It tastes very sweet and mellow, with a longan flavor and floral aroma. It tastes more delicate than the standard Lapsang Souchong combined with a very special fragrance belongs to Tongmuguan which is very hard to describe it but we highly recommend you try this Premium Lapsang Souchong if you have a chance. It also can brew for more times than the ordinary one. You can also consume it with milk and honey.

The tea plantation – Tongmuguan, at the heart of Wuyishan Nature Reserve, is the birthplace of this premium Lapsang Souchong black tea. Nowadays, very little tea really comes from Tongmuguan; however, our Premium Lapsang Souchong Black Tea is an exception. It is of very high quality and has a very special aroma.
The producing area – Wuyishan Nature Reserve has a subtropical monsoon climate. This very famous natural reserve, which is 96.3% forest, provides an advantageous natural environment for Golden Eyebrow. The average altitude of the main producing area is about 1,200 meters. For almost 120 days a year, it is misty. The annual average temperature is around 11–18°C and the average precipitation about 2,000mm. The soil pH is 4.5 to 5.
Origin: Fujian
Dian Hong Tea is a well-known tea produced in Linyi, Baoshan, Fengqing, Xishuangbanna, Dehong and other areas in the south and southwest of Yunnan province.
This subtropical region is one of rolling hills with an average elevation of over 1,000 metres. The average annual temperature is around 18-22°C, with a very large temperature difference between day and night. The annual precipitation is 1,200-1,700mm. In sunny periods there is often fog in the morning and during the night.
There is dense forest and the soil is fertile, with fallen leaves and grass decaying to form a deep humus layer. These conditions result in tea trees with strong buds and fat leaves covered with rich white fuzz. Even the fifth or sixth leaves on the branch are very delicate and juicy and contain rich polyphenolic compounds and alkaloids.
Golden Eyebrow is a kind of Lapsang Souchong. It is produced in Wuyishan City in Fujian province.
Golden Eyebrow is expensive because the whole production process must be carried out by hand. Every 500g of Golden Eyebrow contains tens of thousands of very fresh tea buds, without any leaves. These buds are picked from trees in Wuyishan Nature Reserve. Only the finest buds are picked; even a professional tea picker can only collect up to 500g a day.

It is made of the fresh tea leaves of high mountain wild tea trees in the National Nature Reserve. The making process of it is based on traditional black tea technologies combined with Oolong tea’s shaking process, which makes it not only the warmth and mellowness of black tea but also the rocky taste of the oolong tea.

Natasha C. –
A really special Lapsang Souchong. It has all the subtlety the mass-produced ones lack. The lack of smoking really brings out the special character of this tea. I love that it’s so healthful and packed with polyphenols and other nutrients, too.
Flynn F. –
As the oldest black tea variety, this tea can be brewed more times than the standard black tea so you get more out of the strongly flavoured leaves.
