Lapsang Souchong Smoked Red Tea from Taiwan - 50 g

Lapsang Souchong red tea is an alternative version of the traditional red tea of ​​the same name originating from the Fujian region of China. 

The great geographical difference between this product and its respective Chinese reference leads to a slightly different type of leaf and processing compared to the classic standard. 

In fact, observing this tea, it can be seen that the leaves used here are a bit larger than those produced by the camellias in Fujian. 

In addition to this difference, there is another factor related to processing that will affect the flavor of the infusion of these leaves. 

Always according to tradition, in fact, Lapsang Souchong should be smoked using the fumes of pine wood but in this Taiwanese case other evergreen trees that are easier to find locally were used.
