The grower of this Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong (正山小种) calls this "Sweet Potato" (红薯) Xiao Zhong. The processing and roasting of this tea was done with the intention of creating a black tea that would be full-bodied, aromatic, yammy, sweet and slightly toasty (just like a baked sweet potato). This is a very tasty black tea that will be a perfect addition to your black tea collection. It's affordable and delicious but has a unique and satisfying character!

Reviews

ALL TIME FAVOURITE 🤗🍠💕✨️

"Loved this so much that I got a 500 g bag. It's the size of a baby pillow 😅 No regrets! This is such an easy drinker as a latte. I imagine it would be *fantastic* as a boba base too. When I want to be fancy, I add roasted sweet potato purée and some cream on top of the latte. Deliciousness in a cup. So YAMMY and YUMMY!!! It's one of the best sellers for a reason. Worth your $. Hoping Spring 2026's harvest will be equally as delicious 🤤💕🍠🍠🍠"

Yummy Yammy Tea!

"LOVE this sweet potato black tea. Perfect on its own or as latte with some molasses or brown sugar 🤤 The roasted sweet potato aroma and flavour have a very yammy characteristic, like the brown caramel bits in a real roasted sweet potato. So delicious. One of my favourites now!"
