Descripción
Rich and smoky, the scent of black tea floats in plumes of indigo smoke as the leaves are dried. An aromatic landscape of narrow serpentine rivers, blue mountains and incense-filled temples condensed into a fragrance that’s both comforting, energizing, and long-lasting. With notes of lapsang souchong tea, mandarin orange, apricot, incense and pine tar. Historical background: May 1646, Wuyi Mountains, Fujian.
For centuries, diligent monks in the Wuyi Mountains have grown tea and indigo plants in neatly terraced plantations. In 1646, their monasteries were attacked by Qing soldiers from the north. As the monks were forced to flee, they smoked batches of tea leaves over pinewood fire to preserve their crops. This would become the smoky lapsang souchong tea. Mixing with the fresh mountain air and the incense from nearby shrines, the intoxicating plumes of indigo smoke captured the colors of the Wuyi Mountains and their dramatic river narrows.
Note Structure:
Top Notes: Bergamot, Mandarin orange oil, Lapsang souchong accord, Vetiver.
Heart Notes: Apricot accord, Cassia oil, Carrot seed oil, Gaiac wood.
Base Notes: Maté tea absolute, Cedar leaf oil, Pine tar, Incense.
