Zhengshan Xiaozhong / Lapsang Souchong

HOJO particularly focuses on the Lapsang Souchong produced from the Tongmu area, located in the national nature preserved park of Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province. The high mountains, with their thick pine forests and heavy mist, provide the ideal environment for growing top-quality tea. The best Lapsang is produced right here. In addition, we choose organic tea as our standard. Our original Lapsang Souchong has a very distinctive and aromatic flavor with Dried Longan Flavor in addition to a subtle smoky flavor.
