Tea

Taiwan Lapsang Souchong is an assertively smoky due to the unique combination of hardwood and pine used in the smoking process. It is for the taste enthusiast, as one generally either loves Lapsang Souchong or has no use for it, rarely is there a middle ground! The base tea that is smoked for our Taiwan Lapsang Souchong is fully-oxidized post-smoked leaf. The tea offers a deeply flavorful cup with a distinctive smoothness, topped off by hints of signature smoky pine.

Darjeeling Upper Fagu Spring Enigma comes from the same material as Upper Fagu FTGFOP1, but it was blended for more tippy result. Thanks to this, the final product is a bit smoother and sweeter. It has slightly higher amount of caffeine. The silver-tipped leaves of this first flush Darjeeling offering yield an amber gold liquor with a fresh, lively character. The flavorful cup is delightful on the palate, smooth with floral hints. A refreshing pungency is balanced with an overall honey-sweet quality that lingers long into the finish.

A first flush Darjeeling with a slightly darker than typical mix of leaf colors (greyish yellow tips, with moderate olive brown to olive brown leaf pieces) that produce a strong orange yellow liquor. Amazingly good quality/price ratio. It's smooth and round, complex, sweet, and very fruity. In terms of oxidation, it falls somewhere between green and black tea but we can hardly call it an Oolong tea.
