A new contender in our lineup of outstanding daily drinkers. Our Daily Xiao Zhong is a classic style black tea from Fujian province. Uplifting aromatics, depth of flavor, and most of all no fuss. For lovers of traditional Fujian black teas who want to keep their tea budget in check and not worry about the morning pot. Drinks beautifully gongfu style, but also a great candidate for a big ol' teapot and a long steeping. If you add cream and honey in the morning to accompany your toast and jam you'll get no arguments from us. Available in quantities of 50g and 250g.
