Daily Unsmoked Lapsang Souchong (2025)

 Location : WuYishan Da An yuan 

picking date : 2025.April 

Cultivar :Chun Lan春兰

Feature : 

Chunlan is a highly fragrant variety of Wuyi rock tea. I use two leaves and one bud picked from the tender spring tea leaves, then process it using the same techniques as black tea to make black tea, which we also call Zhengshan Xiaozhong. It's a  Unsmoky style .

 This black tea has a clear, bright liquor, a rich aroma, and a subtle minty coolness.

 It's definitely a good black tea for everyday drinking
