From white2tea

Old arbor sun dried white tea from Yunnan sent to a smokehouse in Tongmuguan village in Fujian to be pine smoked by a veteran Lapsang smoker. The three day smoking process occurs at temperatures from 100C to 120C in an old style Lapsang smokehouse.

You know it will be interesting because even these folks, who are used to my bullshit, thought I’d lost it when i commissioned this one. Medicinal sweetness and charred herbal aromas. Complex and engaging from start to finish.

Each purchase is for one ~ 7 gram ball.

Smoked… meat? Nope, actually, that was full on hot dog in the first rinse. Good lard!

Six to eight steeps in, the hot dog settled down and this started feeling like an average-to-mediocre smoked lapsang. I like lapsang, I just… meh. Kinda bitey, kinda jangly.

This must be the same or a very similar white tea used for Charring Cross; to me, it reads like a black. Medium bodied, but snappy with smoke depth. I bet this would pair perfectly with a decadent chocolatey-something.
