Imperial Grade Laoshan Black is the highest grade version of the already high grade Classic Laoshan Black.

This tea comes from the small family farm of the Liang family where all the growing and processing is done on site, under their strict control, to produce the highest quality result.

What separates this tea from the Classic Laoshan Black is that it's produced from the smallest tippy materials of the tea plants, which are hand selected one leaf at a time during the picking process and set aside for this small batch of tea.

This tea starts its growth under the protection of a greenhouse in the winter and early spring, then it's exposed to direct sunlight until picking season starts in late April to early May.

This tea is wonderfully sweet and thick, with notes of cane sugar and chocolate.

One of our favorites!

Excellent tea, quite different from the classic Laoshan black

While not as robust as the classic laoshan black, this tea is very sweet with a strong dark chocolate flavor with slightly earthy nutty undertones that becomes more vegetal after a few infusions. It also has a nice thick smooth mouth feel and no bitterness or astringency. Currently one of my favorite go-to's

My Favorite black

one of my favorites teas, has that nice full roasted vanilla flavor that lingers and smells wonderful. Puts me in a happy place and I too often drink it too fast, and become a little sad, but satisfied.

Creme Brulee Black

Delicious!

I thought this tea would make a great addition to my box, but I didn't expect to love it -this- much! A lovely, mildly sweet, spiced flavor!

Lovely Autumnal Tea

This is by far my favorite morning tea. The high cafine makes a lovely start to the day and the calming taste helps ward off the stress I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

Apple Cinnamon French Toast

Delicious

This was the very last tea I thought I would want, but not feeling well I took a chance and I am so glad I did. It smells like heaven and tastes so good. I highly recommend this tea.
