Black Yellow Blend by TeaSpring
This tea is certified organic by OCIA (U.S.), BSC (Germany), and JONA (Japan). Our Organic Lapsang Souchong is the best grade to come from the place of origin of this great tea, Tong Mu Guan in Xing Village, or simply known as Bohea. Many had drank this tea before but only a handful have tried the best (organic) authentic Zheng Shan Souchong from the original farm. Highly recommended!
This tea is also known as Zheng Shan Souchong. Zheng Shan means “Original Mountain” and only tea leaves picked from Wuyi harvest area can be called as “Zheng Shan”. These tea leaves have a special characteristics in that they have a subtle hint of a very sweet fruit in China called “longan”.

This is probably a great tea—-but for a smoke addict like me, it seems bland. I love TeaSpring’s other Lapsang Souchong offering, but this one is like the timid little sister who cannot speak out loud and clear.
The Lapsang Souchong from TeaSpring that I really like is relatively less costly. It’s all about the smoke and the tar for me. This one is too sweet.
