Black tea from Wuyi mountain

  • Lapsang Sauchong is black tea from Wuyi Mountain of southeast China. We tried it first time in a tea house on Gu-lang-Yu island in China, and were impressed by its subtle fruity taste. Today we found some of it in a local tea store, but the quality is rather disappointing, the taste is somehow different.
