Lapsang Souchong Black (Red) Tea is traditional large leaf Xiao Zhong. With distinct assamic notes in flavour. So it is correct to call this tea "Chinese Assam". But in our opinion it is much better than Indian Assam.
Aroma: sweet, slightly spicy with hints of dried fruit
Taste: balanced, strong and full-bodied. At the same tome very balanced. Pleasant Assamic tartness and menthol in the aftertaste.
Effects: warming and energising.
Production: spring 2025

im very satisfied with the cup, 😊 thanks
I bought Rou Gui Gao Shan at Tea Gallery, and it pleasantly surprised me with how it evolves over multiple infusions. By the third brew, the aroma becomes fuller and deeper, revealing a rich body with gentle sweetness, subtle berry notes, and light woody undertones. The classic Rou Gui profile—often associated with cinnamon-like spice, warm minerality, and a distinctive “rock” character (yan yun)—is present here as well, but in a smooth and well-balanced way. The aftertaste is long, with a refined balance between warmth and freshness. It’s the kind of tea that truly shines over extended sessions—perfect for long, relaxed evenings in good company.
This tea is honestly GOATed. We call it "endless / infinite tea", just because of HOW MUCH you can extract from it... With the right conditions and not too hot of a water, we've been genuinely drinking it for hours, and I feel like we never fully finished it... definitely worth it's money
Прекрасный чай. Всем советую заглянуть в этот магазинчик.
Bought it as a gift to my dear friend, and he’s now the happiest man on earth. He rates it as “10 out of 5” and “every day I use it, and every day I’m happy”
Genuinely one of the best red teas I’ve ever tried. The texture, the aroma and the flavour is just outstanding. It is visually pleasing, lasts for many infusions, and a bit expensive
Очень приятный вкус, тонкий аромат, мягкое расслабление без сонливости
