Product summary: One of Mr. Wendell’s first teas, HU-KWA is a uniquely crafted black tea from the island of Formosa and is considered by many tea connoisseurs to be the benchmark against which all other Lapsang Souchong style teas are measured. Offered by the Mark T. Wendell Tea Company for over a century, HU-KWA tea gains its distinctive flavor and smoky tang from the burning pine wood over which it is fired during the final drying process of the tea leaf. Distinctive with its smoky flavor and aroma, the dry leaves have an almost amber-brown coloration. When brewed, HU-KWA tea produces a deep red liquor and a surprisingly mellow cup. Since this tea is cultivated in varying terroir from the smoky Lapsang Souchong teas commonly produced in mainland China, it has a taste and character all its own. HU-KWA is a one of a kind tea that you will not forget! Two options: Loose Leaf Tea: Net Weight: 4.0 oz. (113g) Tea bags: 25 tea bags, 2.0 oz. (56g)
