About Zheng Shan Tang Lapsang Souchong Wild Black Tea

This black tea is produced by Zheng Shan Tang. Lapsang Souchong wild black tea is picked from the wild tea trees that grow in the uninhabited land at the Wuyi Mountain National Nature Reserve area. These tea trees grow wantonly without pruning or cutting, the ‘wild’ mountain character expresses itself deeply inside the tea soup which makes this tea very special.
