A Connoisseur's Guide to Tea-Infused Vaping

For over a millennium, Chinese tea culture has been more than a beverage — it is an art form, a meditation, a way of life. At LAFA, we asked ourselves: what if we could capture this experience and make it portable?

Longjing (Dragon Well) — The Emperor's Tea

Longjing is China's most famous green tea, prized for its flat, emerald leaves and distinctive chestnut-like aroma. It was declared a imperial tea by the Qing dynasty's Kangxi Emperor. Our Longjing pod captures this nutty, smooth character with remarkable fidelity.

The key was low-temperature extraction. Traditional vaping temperatures destroy the delicate amino acids that give Longjing its signature taste. Our ceramic coil runs at a lower, calibrated temperature that preserves these compounds.

Tieguanyin (Iron Goddess) — The Floral Oolong

Tieguanyin sits between green and black tea — partially oxidized, with a complex profile that ranges from floral to roasted depending on the roast level. Our Tieguanyin pod leans into the medium-roast tradition, with orchid notes and a buttery finish.

This flavor pairs beautifully with our Titanium Alloy device. The titanium finish adds no flavor interference, letting the tea shine through.

Why Tea Vapes Are Different

Most vape flavors are simple — one or two dominant notes that hit you immediately. Tea flavors are the opposite. They unfold slowly, with a beginning, middle, and end — much like drinking a real cup of tea. The first draw gives you the aroma, the second the body, and the exhale leaves a lingering sweetness.

If you are new to tea vaping, we recommend starting with Longjing for its approachable nuttiness, then graduating to Tieguanyin for a more complex experience.
