Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong (正山小种) is the legendary first red tea of the Wuyi Mountains, Its deep amber liquor carries an iconic smoky aroma born from pinewood drying, yet beneath the smoke lies a natural sweetness that rounds the tea beautifully. Notes of dried fruit, warm pine resin, and gentle caramel linger through each sip, creating a bold yet balanced profile that feels both rustic and timeless. This is a tea with heritage and presence—robust, fragrant, and beloved for the harmonious way its smoke and sweetness come together in every cup.
