Chuan Su – Traditionally Crafted Smoked Souchong 30g

This Traditionally Crafted Smoked Souchong is a rare and robust black tea made from local small-leaf varietals. It features high caffeine, high theanine, and low bitterness, delivering an intense and full-bodied cup with a famous "Chinese Coffee" reputation. This bold brew is perfect for tea lovers who prefer rich flavors, historical tea enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys adding milk and sugar to their tea.

The experience begins with an unforgettable, warm pine smoke aroma layered with rich honey and pleasant woody notes. On the palate, the tea is thick, smooth, and naturally sweet, offering an impressive high steeping endurance and a distinct "longan soup" flavor. With two years of proper aging, the intense smoke mellows beautifully into a dried fruit fragrance, turning the deep red liquor into a texture as thick and delightful as rice soup.

This tea is a living piece of history that honors a centuries-old craft once favored in the historical European market. The production is rare and costly, involving traditional indoor heated withering, complex pine wood smoke-baking, and multiple meticulous firing stages. True smoked Souchong is increasingly rare today because modern methods have largely replaced this time-consuming, highly skilled traditional artisan technique.
