Laoshan is a small village near the sea in northeast China. Teas from this region benefit from a unique microclimate featuring coastal breezes, rocky soil, and fresh spring water.

Laoshan black teas are usually small and tippy, lacking the white pekoe-style hairs that give black teas their golden color.

Classic Laoshan Black, grown under the shadow of a sacred mountain, is very smooth and viscous with a robust flavor that has a distinct dark chocolate bite.

People often question whether sugar was added to this tea, but it's simply the weather and soil that make this tea naturally sweet and thick.

Classic Laoshan Black is one of our personal favorites at Tea Runners. It's a tea we always have on our shelf at home!

Spring 2024 Harvest.

Ingredients: Black tea.
Origin: Shandong, China
Caffeine: MED-HIGH

If you love this tea, you may also want to check out the more expensive versions, including Imperial Grade Laoshan Black and Laoshan Village Black Needles. Both have a similar flavor profile, but undergo more strict plucking and processing, creating slightly different flavor profiles.

Lemon Drop Black Tea

This smells so good, like aromatic lemon depth without the bitterness, and it taste a lot like it smells. I get notes of lemon peel, lemon verbena, and some woodsiness. I was glad I didn’t any tartness, sourness, or bitterness.

I was able to drink it without any sweetener at all (it’s not sweet by itself to me, but it’s complex and smooth enough to get away with no additions). I usually add sweetener to most of my teas.

I think this would be excellent hot or served as iced tea, with sugar as well. I have enjoyed it as hot tea so far. It’s also good with honey. I haven’t tried a cold brew method, but the tea is smooth to begin with, so that seems promising.

The Genmaicha tea is one of my favorites. It is smooth, great tasting, and just the right amount of caffeine for me. Thank you!

Pure Gold Jin Jun Mei

Delicious and smooth

A really delicious, smooth, black tea with low tannins and a wonderful mouthfeel. Makes at least two good steeps with little to no decline in taste, and you can get a third, slightly weaker and more tannic but still pleasant brew out if it.

High Mountain “Tu Cha” Black

One of my favorite herbal teas ever; it’s a great replacement for drinking lots of berry lemonades to help me kick my sugary drink habit! I can’t express enough how tart and delicious this is, and the lavender adds a dimension to the flavor that makes it very tasty. I got it with my tea club and am now forever hooked.

Lavender Raspberry Honeybush

My Daughters favorite

My Daughter loves this tea more than any other she's ever tried.
So much so in fact that I imported it from the US website and I live in Canada. ( I purchased the 5oz portion, it wasn'tavailableon the Canadian website) Definitely the most expensive tea I have ever purchased because of the exchange rate, shipping charges and brokerage fees.
I know I will buy it for her again because it's her favorite.
Next time though, I will try and find a way to reduce the cost.

Gingerbread Black

This tastes EXCEPTIONALLY like caramel; if you like caramel or butterscotch this is a perfect desert tea for you. It also smells absolutely lovely the entire time!
