Origin: Tongmu Village, Fujian, China — Birthplace of Black Tea
Crafted in Tongmu Village, the birthplace of black tea over 450 years ago, this refined smoked black tea from China expresses heritage, terroir, and quiet elegance. Unlike heavily smoked varieties, this tea offers a light, delicate pine smoke balanced by a clean amber liquor and natural sweetness.
Soft notes of longan fruit, warm wood, and gentle forest smoke unfold into a smooth, lingering finish. This is a beautifully balanced smoked black tea—approachable, refined, and nuanced—perfect for those who desire the character of smoke without intensity.

My order was running late, so Renee was so kind to work with me. She not only got the order out, but sent me a complimentary tea as a gift. We tried our first tea and it is fabulous, with this unusual but wonderful smoky flavor. So far, we’re extremely thrilled with the tea we purchased. Thanks to Renee for the excellent service.

I had an amazing time at the Art of The Blend event. No only did a learn alot, customer service was great, and the tea was simply divine. I created 3 of my own blend and bought extra tea to bring home. The owner Ms. Renee was relatable and knowledgeable.
