Our Dark Pearl Oolong is produced in the Tai Tung region of eastern Taiwan, famed for its superb climactic conditions with plenty of rain and bright sunshine. These leaves have been carefully hand plucked, semi-fermentated, and rolled again by hand into their pearl-like form.

The infusion is a glowing amber up with bright citrus notes and tropical sweetness, hinting at passionfruit, papaya and grapefruit.

Exactly how a good Lapsang should be.

Hailing from the Qing Dynasty, Lapsang Souchong is an ancient Chinese tea with a distinctive smokey flavour. This is a high-grade open leaved Taiwanese Formosa tea that has been withered, dried, and smoked over cedar and pine logs for a rich and wholesome infusion. Strong and bold in flavour – the perfect cosy pick-me-up for brisk, chilly days.
