Tang Dynasty Flavors: A Journey Through Imperial Taste

The Tang Dynasty (618–907) was an era of unprecedented openness and cultural exchange. The Silk Road brought flavors, spices, and fruits from across Asia into the imperial court. It is this spirit of discovery that inspires our Tang Collection. Lychee, the 'fruit of the imperial concubine,' was so beloved by Emperor Xuanzong that he ordered express horse relays to deliver fresh lychee from the south to his beloved Yang Guifei in Chang'an. Our Lychee Ice captures this decadent sweetness, balanced with a cooling finish that evokes the mountain springs of the imperial gardens. Osmanthus, the flower of the autumn moon, was celebrated in Tang poetry for its intoxicating fragrance. Our Osmanthus Oolong blends this floral sweetness with the roasted depth of Taiwanese oolong — a pairing the Tang poets would have approved of. At LAFA, we believe that vaping can be more than a habit. It can be a sensory journey through history. Each flavor in the Tang Collection is designed to transport you to a different moment in China's most romantic dynasty.
