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!

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.

English Breakfast Reserve is a step up from your average English Breakfast tea because it is blended with a higher grade specialty tea leaves.

Full leaf tea is often considered superior because it retains more of its natural oils and compounds, leading to a richer, more complex flavor and aroma. The whole leaves allow for a slower, more even release of flavors, resulting in a smoother and less bitter taste.

Additionally, full leaf tea tends to be of higher quality, with more antioxidants and nutrients preserved compared to broken leaf tea. It can also be re-steeped multiple times, offering a varied tea-drinking experience.

English Breakfast Reserve is produced from the most-awarded tea company in the world. It is an organic blend of high grade Assam (India), Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and specialty Keemun (China) black teas.

It brews a strong and flavorful cup with notes of decadent caramel.
