Tong Mu Guan - Lapsang Shouchong 2024 - Black Tea

Originating in the ancient forests of Tong Mu Guan village, within the Wuyi Mountains, this unsmoked Lapsang Shouchong will reveal the authentic roots of black tea.

This Tong Mu Guan is made with traditional craftsmanship, without the pine wood smoking process found in most Tong Mu Guans. The classic aroma of dried longan fruit is immediately apparant, and the brewed tea entices with a floral and fruity aroma, with a refreshingly sweet finish, and lingering flavour of honey and caramel. Each sip is memorable, and builds upon the last.

Rock teas are known for their strong mineral flavour. This, in addition to the polyphenols and caffeine, can add to a bitter, astringent flavour in the brewed tea. We advise experimenting with quantity of tea leaves, water temperature, and brewing time to find the flavour that is best suited to you.

We source our teas as close to the original producer as possible, while other brands are often multiple steps removed from the original producer, our Chinese tea is sourced directly from the single farm which produces them, ensuring as much profit as possible goes to the people growing and blending the tea, and keeping these communities thriving.

In addition to this, a portion of our sales goes to Rainforest Trust UK, to do what we can to protect endangered species and threatened habitats across the world. Each cup you enjoy places 25sqm of endangered land under protection, so you can enjoy your tea knowing you're helping the environment, and the communities of those growing the tea.
