Description

"Classic Wu Yi mountain black tea varietal "Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong" means literally "from Wu Yi Mountain Small Tea Plant".




Our offering is processed in a traditional style and has notes of dark chocolate taste and aroma with a sweet after-finish.




We recommend brewing with 90c temperature water. Wash once very briefly!




This is not a smoky "Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong" and should not be confused with the smoky type "Lapsang Souchong"!"
