A blend of shou 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 shou Puer blend that already had a camphor aroma disposition before being thrust into full blown camp fire territory. Soft, smooth soup and a forest floor backbone enveloped in pine smoke. This will likely be a love or hate tea for a lot of people, but the people loved it probably added it to the cart before reading this far. If you're on the fence, try a taste. At the very least it will be a unique experience. Each cake is 200 grams of tea.
