LAPSANG TEA,
IMPORTED IN LEAD PACKAGES,
SIX SHILLINGS PER PACKET.
IN introducing the " Lapsang" Tea, it may be well to
observe, that this description has not found its way into
this country before, chiefly on account of its rarity, and the
high estimation in which it is held by the jlinese.
The following remarks, selected from AT eminent work on
China, will perhaps give an idea of the superiority and value
of this peculiar kind of tea.
" Lapsang (Leaong-chaang, small or scarce sort') is the
finest of the stronger black teas, with a leaf that is generally
entire and curly, and more young than in the coarser kinds.
It is usually made up in small packets containing from half
a pound to a pound, and, in some instances, two pounds,
and enclosed in lead to preserve its flavour, which is so fine
as to be used almost exclusively for presents and the court
of Pekin. _ _ _

" The finest kinds are sometimes scented with the flowers
of the Chloranthus inconspicuus and Gardenia fiorida ; and
they cannot be obtained, even among the Chinese, except at
dear prices ; being composed mainly of the young buds, the
quantity produced can only be small, and will bear no pro-
portion to other descriptions. With a view to increasing its
strength and flavour, the application of heat is very limited
in drying the leaves, and for this reason, as well as on account
of its scarcity and high price, very little has ever been brought
to England. The mandarins send it in very small canisters
to each other, or to their friends, as presents, under the name
of Loong-tsing, which is the name of the district where the
tea is made.

" The Chinese usually allow tea to be infused (or to stand
in the teapot before pouring out) longer than we do in
England ; and this, perhaps, is the secret of teas always ap-
pearing to me stronger at Canton. Whatever the reason,
however, the fact is certain, that the infusion, as drunk in
China, is much more potent than as prepared by our house-
wives at home. Probably the quantity used may have some
influence in the matter—the superior classes in China being
rather liberal in this respect."
