Stout Golden Moon Tea http://www.GoldenMoonTea.com Even many seasoned tea drinkers have never tried Lapsang Souchong. But, Lapsang Souchong is one of the most famous and popular Chinese teas and certainly worth your time. Lapsang Souchong is a smoked tea that originated in the Fujian province of China. The smoking process gives Lapsang Souchong a very distinct flavor and aroma. True Lapsang Souchong is fairly rare, because it is only produced in the Wuyi Mountains, where there are thick pine forests and heavy mists. Legend has it that Lapsang Souchongs smoking process was discovered by accident. The story goes that during the Qing Dynast, an army unit camped in a tea factory that was filled with fresh tea leaves waiting processing. The army unit got the tea growers off schedule, and when they went back to their jobs after the troops left, they realized that they were so far behind schedule that they could never get the tea to market on time. With no time to dry the tea leaves in the usual way, they lit open fires of pine wood to speed up the drying process. They made it to market on time - and with a new tea that was an immediate hit. It made this same great impression when it was introduced to Western Europe several years later. Today, many tea drinkers enjoy Lapsang Souchong with food, and it is especially delicious with spicy foods. But, its also delightful when enjoyed on its own. But, its important to know that youre getting true Lapsang Souchong. Some tea processors put ordinary black tea through a smoking process and then call it Lapsang Souchong. But, the only true Lapsang Souchong is that grown in the Fujian Province of China. For some, Lapsang Souchong is an acquired taste, because of the distinct smokiness and many nuances to the flavors. It may take you a couple of tries, but youre sure to love this unusual tea. Since it is recognized that some tea that is labeled Lapsang Souchong isnt the real thing, tea drinkers wonder where they should purchase their Lapsang Souchong in order to be sure theyre getting the genuine article. Well, one good place to start is with a quality Lapsang Souchong. At least one supplier has taken great care to create an extraordinary Lapsang Souchong for their customers. This dark black tea was smoked over pine embers before being processed and aged to perfection. The flavor is very distinct, and the tea has a bold color and a wonderful aroma. A quality will always forge relationships with the best tea gardens in the world and purchase only the best leaves these tea gardens can supply. Choosing tea can be difficult, since there is no international grading standard for it. Each country grades their tea differently and each variety may be graded differently as well. So, its incumbent upon companies to do a lot of investigation about the tea theyre considering for purchase if they want to get the very best in quality. Quality tea suppliers have put time and effort into researching every tea leaf that is purchased, and this is how they can promise you the very best. Tea has gained enormous popularity in the Western World in recent years. And the biggest growth has been among blended and specialty teas, like Lapsang Souchong. Market researchers expect this surge in tea popularity to increase over the next few years, so there are sure to be an abundance of new teas hitting store shelves. This makes it even more important for tea lovers to have a tea retailer that they can trust to only provide the best products. When you choose a quality tea, you have an assurance that the tea is a good value, too. When you look at the price of a quality tea, you may initially think that the price seems a bit high. But, its important to take into consideration the fact that quality suppliers work s hard to make their teas of a quality and strength to encourage multiple infusions. So, when youre making two cups (or sometimes more) of tea from the same loose leaves, you have immediately doubled your value! Lesser quality teas cannot be used for multiple infusions, so while you may spend less on initial purchase, youll be heading back to the store to purchase another package far more quickly. When shopping a quality tea purveyor look at those that have actually won competitive tea awards and not just claims of quality. National events like the World Tea Expo generally award the best tea special consideration. And, finally, you can generally count on quality tea suppliers to give you a prompt refund if you ever purchase a tea from them that you dont like. When youre trying new teas, like Lapsang Souchong, its nice to know that returning the product is no hassle if the flavor turns out to be, well, not your cup of tea. If youve never given Lapsang Souchong a try, the time is now. This smoky tea is sure to become one of your favorites. And, choosing a quality Lapsang Souchong ensures youre getting quality tea that comes with a quality promise. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon M.
