After the tea leaves are withered, pan-fired, rolled, and oxidized, they’re carefully dried in bamboo baskets over slow-burning pine fires, locking in a distinctive smoky aroma and rich, savory flavor. It’s a smoky tea that captures the essence of a campfire—warm, smooth, and satisfying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not your everyday tea. With its bold taste, layered smoke notes, and lingering finish, it’s an interesting tea that wakes up the taste buds and leaves a strong impression. Some consider it an acquired taste; others call it their ultimate favorite tea. If you're drinking it first thing in the morning, subbing it in for coffee, or brewing it strong with boiling water, this smokey tea delivers a one-of-a-kind cup with real depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLegend has it that Lapsang Souchong was first created during the Qing Dynasty, when a tea factory rushed to finish its batch after soldiers moved through the area.

Today, it’s a standout in the world of smoked teas, loved by adventurous sippers looking for bold flavor and timeless tradition.

As the largest importer of Chinese green tea worldwide, Morocco offers this unique green tea with fresh mint, steeped three times to offer distinct flavors in each infusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eTraditionally, Moroccan mint tea is prepared by bringing fresh mint (often nana mint), gunpowder green tea leaves, and sugar to a boil in a teapot or kettle, then poured from high above the glass to swirl air through the brew. This creates a sweet, aromatic drink with a bold green tea flavor and cooling spearmint essence. Many tea drinkers in Morocco enjoy the ritual of the first glass, second glass, and third glass, each with its own taste and aroma. Though mint is the star, other herbs like sage can be added for variation. Whether you're serving a cup to guests or sipping it solo, Moroccan tea culture is all about hospitality, flavor, and tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ritual is best described in a famous proverb about Moroccan mint tea: \"The first glass is as gentle as life, the second glass is as strong as love, the third glass is as bitter as death.\" Each steeping time brings a unique flavor profile, much like the journey of life itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium mint green tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSample ~ 5 servings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 LB ~ 50 servings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 LB ~ 220 servings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAND leaves can be infused twice!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess caffeine than other green teas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifestyle-Friendly: Vegan, Paleo, Keto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaffeine: Medium\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e green tea, organic spearmint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eView our full collection of \u003ca title=\"Mint Teas\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theteaspot.mom\/collections\/loose-leaf-mint-teas\"\u003emint teas\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout our Sachets:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-labelledby=\"primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-sender primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-message_text primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-alt_text primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-date_time primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-reaction_count primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-reply_count primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-link_count primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-attachment_count primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-has_draft_reply primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-pinned_state primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-edited_state primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-later_state primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-broadcast_state primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-broadcast_thread_root_message primary-C08K687E282-1771620761.513399-translated_state\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" id=\"message-list_1771620761.513399\" data-qa=\"virtual-list-item\" data-item-key=\"1771620761.513399\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-qa=\"message_container\" data-qa-unprocessed=\"false\" data-qa-placeholder=\"false\" data-msg-ts=\"1771620761.513399\" data-msg-channel-id=\"C08K687E282\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-roledescription=\"message\" data-qa-hover=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-qa=\"message_content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-qa=\"message-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-qa=\"block-kit-renderer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOur tea sachets are made using NeoSoilon®, a non-GMO material derived from sugarcane.

The name translates to \"Coiled Dragon Silver Tips,\" a reference both to the tea's tightly spiraled leaf form and to the fine white down, or \"yin hao,\" that covers the tender spring buds used to make it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile similar in processing to Zhejiang's famous Gunpowder green tea, Pan Long Yin Hao stands apart for its elegance and complexity. The rolled leaf style protects the tea's volatile aromatics during storage and allows for a slow, even release of flavor during steeping, so every cup is as fresh and fragrant as the last. The fine silver trichomes on the leaves contribute to the tea's characteristically light body and sweet, lingering aftertaste. Records of tea cultivation in this region date back to the Tang Dynasty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Kuocang Mountains: Where Pan Long Yin Hao Comes From\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea gardens of Linhai climb misty slopes between 400 and 800 meters against the backdrop of the Kuocang Mountains, along the eastern edge of Zhejiang Province. The region's proximity to the East China Sea moderates temperature extremes throughout the growing season, while abundant rainfall and diffused sunlight nurture the tender, aromatic spring leaves that Pan Long Yin Hao is made from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep red and sandy loam soils lend subtle mineral tones to the cup, and the cool mountain air slows the growth of the young buds, concentrating their natural sweetness and floral complexity. Generations of small farming families in this area have spent centuries refining the hand-rolling and pan-firing techniques that define Pan Long Yin Hao's iconic coiled leaf style, and that accumulated knowledge shows up directly in what ends up in your cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Tea Master: Cai Tongsheng\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePan Long Yin Hao at this level requires both deep knowledge and exceptional skill.

Skilled artisans then roll each leaf by hand into a tight spiral, creating the coiled dragon form that gives this tea its name. A second low-heat firing locks in the aroma and preserves the silver-white down on the leaf surface. Cai's production facilities use precise temperature and airflow control to maintain consistency across each batch without compromising the tea's delicate character. The result is a tea of exceptional freshness and purity, harvest after harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Brew Pan Long Yin Hao\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWestern Brew\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse 1 teaspoon (approximately 2 grams) of loose leaf per 8 oz of water at 175°F and steep for 2 to 3 minutes.

This is a tea with real presence in the cup, and one we are proud to bring to the Origin Reserve Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/4424\/6052\/files\/guapian_origin.jpg?v=1774628142\" alt=\"a hand reaches out to catch falling tea leaves\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Jinzhai and Huoshan Counties, Lu'an City, Anhui Province, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultivar: Qitou Mountain Middle Leaf Variety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Melon Seed Green Tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvest: April 1, 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElevation: 600 to 800 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessing: Pan-fired, hand-rolled, triple-fired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaffeine: Low to Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIngredients: Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifestyle-Friendly: Vegan, Paleo, Keto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e green tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Lu'an Guapian?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLu'an Guapian is one of China's Ten Famous Teas, a historic green tea from the mountainous outskirts of Lu'an City in Anhui Province that was once reserved as tribute for the Qing imperial court. The name translates to \"Melon Seed Slice,\" a reference to the tea's distinctive flat, oval leaf shape, which resembles a melon seed and is achieved through a precise process of pan-firing and hand-rolling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets Lu'an Guapian apart from virtually every other green tea is its leaf selection. While most green teas prioritize tender buds and the youngest leaves for delicacy and sweetness, Lu'an Guapian is made entirely from mature second and third leaves, with no buds and no stems. This gives the tea a strength, body, and depth that more delicate greens simply cannot offer, while the careful processing preserves a natural sweetness and mineral clarity that makes it endlessly drinkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold brewed, it is a revelation. The mature leaves release a rounded sweetness and cooling freshness that makes this one of the most versatile green teas available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Dabie Mountains: Where Lu'an Guapian Comes From\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLu'an lies along the Dabie Mountain range in western Anhui Province, where mist-shrouded slopes and forested valleys rise between 600 and 800 meters. The region's mineral-rich, slightly acidic red soils and high humidity favor slow leaf development, while significant temperature swings between day and night heighten aromatic complexity in the mature leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur tea comes from Jinzhai and Huoshan counties, at the heart of this landscape, where morning mists protect the leaves from harsh sunlight and allow chlorophyll and amino acids to accumulate over a longer growing period. That extra time on the plant is a large part of what gives Lu'an Guapian its characteristic depth and natural sweetness. Generations of farming families in this area have cultivated Guapian for centuries, preserving the traditional hand-firing methods that define its signature shape\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Tea Spot","offers":[{"title":"Loose leaf sample (15 g)","offer_id":43884205867044,"sku":"9-1973","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40 g loose","offer_id":43884205899812,"sku":"9-1976","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/4424\/6052\/files\/guapian_product.jpg?v=1774628461"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/4424\/6052\/collections\/5b024faee347f2c024847cfffdfd3c3a_c8ba309f-36a2-4802-a61f-daa05a626d7c.jpg?v=1744225404","url":"https:\/\/www.theteaspot.mom\/collections\/smoked-teas.oembed","provider":"The Tea Spot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
