One of the world's most delicate black teas. Created by one of China’s most revered Tea Masters who was on a quest to create a whole new subcategory of black tea. What transpired was a whole new world of flavour that resembles Lapsang remarkably, retaining only the sweet and malty flavour characteristics.
Ingredients: Black Tea Origin: Fujian province, China Flavour Profile: Rich, Bold, Sweet, Malty, Floral, Caramel, Stone Fruit Caffeine: Moderate
*Please keep in mind tea leaf and herbal characteristics can vary from batch to batch, due to sourcing availability and season of the crop.
The Story
What makes this little leaf of power so unique is the sweetness that transcends all other teas, created only from this tiny humble leaf. This tea used to be synonymous with Wuyi Mountains in Northern Fujian. For Tea Journeys Founder Mark Thirlwall, one of the very first bike rides in China was to discover the teas from Wuyi. For over a month Mark explored the area in and around the infamous clay souls known for “Yan Cha” or Rock Teas” because it appears that the teas are grown out of rock. In reality its a fine silt clay, however the plants have to work so hard to produce and grow, with this comes the sensational flavour of these oolong teas from this area. After tasting 1000’s of cups of teas, Mark discovered that in fact some of the best tasting Oolongs and not to mention other teas known to have grown in Wuyi were actually better grown a little further to the West of the mountains. A particular valley harvests the most incredible of teas that Mark was to sample during that whole month of tea exploration.
Just like how real estate works for everyone in todays world, so to does the same factors and decisions effecting tea makers, driven by what will actually offer a ROI. By moving further out from Wuyi, acquiring untouched land with little alteration and disturbance of soil at far cheaper point of entry, these innovative tea farmers found cheaper places to establish their tea gardens. These tea bushes grow like magic shoots from the impenetrable clay soils. Ultimately in China what makes the biggest counterpoints between different teas is terroir and processing. This cannot be traded or learnt overnight. This particular varietal of black tea is relatively new tea creation. It is not steeped in history like so many of the older trade names from China.
The liquor colour is stunning copper brown. As for the flavour profile it offers caramel notes with a hint of honey orchid in the finish. Perfect for black tea lovers looking for a new favourite.

No need to hunt further... the golden goose is here
I first sampled this tea as a complimentary offering (thank you!), and it quickly became a favorite. Its rich, medium-to-strong black flavour is complemented by a warm, sweet note, capturing the deep essence of a lapsang without the typical bitter aftertaste. Each cup feels like a delightful reward, akin to Dummling the woodcutter discovering the golden goose.
