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. Mid-April Harvest
