Description

Tong Mu Guan Village in the Wu Yi Shan is well-known for it’s black teas and oolongs. This is an imperial grade AAA Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong (正山小种) grown in Tong Mu Guan area. This is a unique version tea with peach and honey notes. It fills the mouth and throat with a stimulating full-bodied tea soup that is lively and satisfying.

The tea is very unique and has surprising depth for a Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, a tea which has fallen out of favor for the more popular and smaller leaved Jin Jun Mei. This Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong has a depth that you won’t find other Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong’s or Jin Jun Mei’s.

Early May 2017!
