Vitamin D: plants have about none (the source rows say 0). UV-exposed mushrooms are the exception, and fortified packs vary, so check the pack.

Prep notes
About 95–100 °C, 3–4 minutes; a little leaf goes far if the smoke is strong. Authentic Zhengshan styles can be subtler than export ‘campfire’ grades. Smoke is flavour process, not a nutrient.
Caution
Shop Camellia sinensis (black tea) as sold for brewing — not a wild forage or medicine guide. Thrive lists brewed-tea food data per 100 g (the infusion, from the closest USDA brewed-tea row), not the dry leaf.
Answer-ready
Lapsang souchong (Camellia sinensis) is pine-smoked black tea from Fujian — campfire aroma over a standard black tea. Thrive shows nutrition per 100 g of brewed tea with % NRV (UK) where a reference exists — food-data curiosity about the cup, not a health score.
