Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, top grade, 2023, 50g
Small Leaf from Those Famous Mountains (Chinese: 正山小种) is an easy-to-brew tea with natural chocolate notes in the aroma.
The top-grade Xiao Zhong differs from the basic version by the absence of stems and large broken leaves. Its flavor is purer and sweeter, and the aroma is more pronounced.
Aroma: bright and warm, with hints of baked fruits and chocolate.
Flavor: sweet, honey-fruity, with caramel and coffee notes.
Effect: provides warmth and gently invigorates.
Harvest: spring 2023, Wuyi Mountains, Fujian Province, China.
Brewing: any tea vessel is suitable for Xiao Zhong. Porcelain enhances the aroma, while clay deepens and enriches the flavor. Brewing with infusion allows for multiple flavors from one steeping. Steeping saves time and yields a single, but fully developed flavor. Preheat the vessel well before brewing. Use boiling water.
