From Mariage Frères

In the heart of monsoons’ Indochina, this exceptional green tea is grown in the luxuriant orchards of Laos’ high plateaus.
Slowly dried over an open fire of fragrant wood, its leaves offer a flowery taste lightly smoky.
The fertile crimson soil provides an intense savour, with delightful tones of moss and ginger. A tea symbol of hospitality.

A rare Laos tea with a smoky aroma, but it’s nothing like Lapsang Souchong, or any Keemun I know. I could say it has an earthy flavour, but it’s not at all like puerhs. The taste is… wet trees, moss, and smoke? With a dry, gingery finish. I wish I could try the non-ginger version (called Champasak, I believe). Brewing this gongfu style made me even more confused about the flavours here. A tea to return to, periodically.
