Guadun Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong

This Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong from Guadun offers a rich and cozy experience, crafted to highlight its full body and comforting flavors. With a dominant woody profile and layers of maltiness, this tea excites with the sweetness of red berries, giving each sip an overall comforting warmth.

With its full body and soft tannins, it's an ideal choice for those seeking a satisfying and multi-dimensional black tea that reveals more depth with each infusion. Balancing complexity with homely warmth, this tea is perfect for cold mornings or quiet evenings.

For a slightly different take on this beloved style, try our Masu Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, which offers a more robust, mineral-rich variation of this tea.
