Lapsong Souchong)  on the market is made using cheap tea and artificial flavoring. This one is made using high-quality tea from Tongmuguan, Fujian, the birthplace of black tea. It has been carefully produced from real pinewood, in a smoke room where leaves are placed on trays, with the smoke rising through smoke holes from the floor. The pine smoke is carefully controlled to add a smokiness that enhances but does not cover up the tea's complex flavors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"c3\"\u003eFun Fact #2:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"c3\"\u003e \u003ci\u003eZhengshan Xiaozhong \u003c\/i\u003e(\"original mountain small type\/leaf\") is the heir to the very first black tea created, dating back to the 1550's.
