A blend of Yunnan raw Puer, 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.
A natural fit for cigar lovers and Scotch whisky fanatics who want tea in the morning, but this tea is a surprise that will likely garner even fans who are wary of smoke as well.
Heavy bodied and layered complexity with a tropical fruit aromatics, charred mango sweetness and a bitey huigan [returning sweetness in the mouth]. Campfire smoke lingers atop the cotton candy aspects of the tea. Excellent tea blend for the price range, above daily drinker quality without the higher price tag one would expect.
Pressed in 2020. Each cake is 200g. The cakes are wrapped in bamboo leaf tongs, with five cakes per tong.
For aging, we recommend that smoked teas be sealed and separated from other teas, as the fresh smoke will pass along to the teas next to it. Or you can keep them with your cigars.
I recently received a small white2tea order with some of the latest smoked teas, something that I’ve come to deeply look forward to each year! Though I’m sure it won’t be long until I’ve tried each of them, but couldn’t resist brewing one up immediately. I’m starting with 2025 Northern Grown, the smoked sheng pu’erh. It’s bitey and abrasive with a lot of upfront pine smoke, tobacco and peat moss notes. However, it’s what follows after the initial wave of smoke that really makes it feel so compelling to me. Still smoky, but cushioned with the bitter sweetness of burnt sugar and a slightly tropical fruitiness like a greener, slightly underripe mango. So unique, even among the other different smoked raw pu’erh from W2T that I’ve gotten to try!
