The production for Formosa Lapsang begins by withering the freshly picked tea over pine and oak fires. The leaves are then pan fired and each leaf rolled by hand before being pressed and covered by cloths in wooden barrels. After fermenting, the leaves are then rolled again and hung in bamboo baskets over burning pine boughs to dry. The resultant flavour of smoky pine and oak fires, combined with the high quality of leaf used, makes Formosa Lapsang one of the world's finest teas.
