Shaowu lies in the North of the Fujian province and is generally considered the production capital of Chinese smoked teas. Large, ripe tea leaves are typically used for this organically grown tea as they are ideally suited for repeated smoking processes and ensure a successful, spicy outcome. The beautifully regular, worked leaf is interfused with anthracite and presents some golden tips. The cup is full-bodied with a soft, smoky accent.
