1. Lapsang Souchong and Jin Jun Mei in Wuyishan, Fujian

When it comes to the representative of Chinese black tea, we have to say Lapsang Souchong, which is produced in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian Province. Hundreds of years ago, it was introduced to Europe in the seventeenth century, brought to the British court, gradually conquered European countries, and finally became popular all over the world. For a long time in the Qing Dynasty, most of the black tea exported from China was Lapsang Souchong.


Lapsang Souchong is the "orthodox inheritance" of Wuyi black tea, the originator of black tea. Because it uses local specialty pine branches to burn and dry, the finished product has a unique quality of pine smoke and dried longan. Nowadays, in order to meet the taste of more consumers, some Lapsang souchongs have also canceled the smoking process and become "smoke-free souchongs".


On the basis of Lapsang Souchong produce technology, local people chose young leaves with single buds, and innovatively integrated the "high-end model" of contemporary black tea-Jin Junmei, which opened up another perspective of high-end black tea.
