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.

Enjoyed it

"Ligher and brighter version of Xiao Zhong. Expect more fruitt and greenish taste"

— Ihar (5/5)

Love this smooth and creamy sweet black tea!

"Fruity, creamy and sweet black tea! Drinking the 2019 Spring with 1.5 years on it. I like it better than when I first got it! Age gives this a nice mellow full-bodied sweetness."

— Jessie D. (5/5)

Lychees and roses

"A little bitter at first but turns in to lychees and roses. Very delicious."

— Inta (4/5)

Delicate flavor

"This "souchong" has a lighter and more delicate flavor. It has some warm cocoa notes but also has a nice refreshing aroma of crushed fresh flower petals. This tea lacks any bitterness or astringency, so the tea does not linger on the palette."

— Genesis N. (4/5)

非常不错

"今天收到了Yunnan Sourcing订单，好几款红茶，先尝了正山小种，130ml盖碗，用了大概7克茶叶，水温85度左右，汤水透亮，口感醇厚，很香甜。喜欢的朋友推荐购买，泡红茶记得水温不要太高哦！"

First tea I was disappointed in. But horribly.

"Don't get me wrong. It tastes decent and reasonably good. However, I am disappointed. It just tastes like.... black tea. Hard to explain I know, but to me it just tastes like a fairly plain black tea. Just.. basically tea leaf and that's it. Not much of an aftertaste, no notes that I can take notice of. I will certainly be drinking the rest of what I have, but at a MUCH slower rate than compared to my other teas in my collection."

— Corey W. (3/5)

Great black

"Really nice deep taste of classical black tea without any roast aroma or other things."

— Black P. (5/5)

Q&A

This is listed in the Spring 2018 category, and has a tag of 2018, but the title says "Spring 2017". When was this harvested?
It's 2018... listing and title corrected just now.
