The Organic Traditional Lapsang Black Tea with the smoke aroma, which is the most popular and familiar Lapsang tea in Tongmu Village, is smoked over red pine (horsetail pine), giving it the distinct rich smoked aroma and flavor. The tea leaves are first withered over pine root fires, then panfried, rolled and oxidized, and are finally placed in bamboo baskets and hung on wooden racks over smoking pinewood fires to dry and absorb the smoke. This results in a powerfully smoky aroma coupled with a smooth taste. The tea has a light body, with a smooth crisp character and a very prominent, heady aroma of a pine wood fire. The tea color is a rusty red and the smoked flavor and aroma will remain in the tea for many infusions.
Legend claims that the smoking process that produces this remarkable organic black tea was discovered by accident. During the Qing dynasty,  unit passing through the village of Xingcun camped in a tea factory filled with fresh leaves awaiting processing. When the soldiers left and the workers could get back into the factory, they realized that to arrive at market in time, it was too late to dry the leaves in the usual fashion. So they lit open fires of pine wood to hasten the drying. Not only did the tea reach the market in time, but the smoked pine flavor created a sensation! Today, this organic black tea from China is dried over smoking pine fires in order to absorb the smoke flavor. Lapsang Souchong is generally consumed with sugar, milk and/or lemon.
