正山小种 lapsang sauchong

正山小种（lapsang sauchong）与人工小种合称为小种红茶。首创于福建省武夷山地区。是世界上最早的红茶，亦称红茶鼻祖，至今已经有400多年的历史，由福建武夷茶农明朝中后期创制而成。后来在正山小种的基础上发了功夫红茶。历史上该茶以星村为集散地，故又称星村小种。鸦片战争后，帝国主义入侵，国内外茶叶市场竞争激烈，出现正山茶与外山茶之争，正山含有正统之意，因此得名。

分烟种和无烟种，以在制作工艺上是否有用松针或松柴熏制而成的为区分依据：有用松针或松柴熏制的称为“烟正山小种”；没有用松针或松柴熏制的，则称为“无烟正山小种”。

制法分为传统制法和非传统制法两类。

传统红碎茶：以传统揉捻机自然产生的红碎茶滋味浓，但产量较低。

非传统制法的红碎茶：分为转子红碎茶（国外称洛托凡（RotOvane〕红碎茶）；C。T。C红茶和L。T。P（劳瑞制茶机）红碎茶。如以C。T。C揉切机生产红碎茶，彻底改变了传统的揉切方法。

因其是全发酵茶，一般存放一两年后松烟味进一步转换为干果香，滋味变得更加醇厚而甘甜。

2002年获得中国原产地保护产品注册。

2000年至今连年获得德国BCS，日本JAS和美国NOP国际有机认证。
