Our AA grade Premium Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong is picked in a 2 day window when the bud/leaf sets are small and tender. The tea is expertly wilted under the care of the Li family head, who is a 4th generation Wu Yi tea grower and processor.
The tea itself brews a deep red-gold tea soup which is sweet and fruity, but with a little bitterness to make it stay in the mouth. Later infusions have an almost apple-like taste.
We also offer another Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong here, while cheaper in price some people may prefer it to this Premium AA version. Consider trying some of each to see which one you like!
