From deep in the misty Wuyi Mountains, where the first black tea is believed to have been traded, comes this exquisite tea. Wildwood is comprised of 100% unsmoked lapsang souchong, considered to be the godfather of all black tea.

The tea showcases a shining example of “frankness”, which is to say that it expresses its character in a most delightfully forthright manner.
