Xiao Zhong

20g

This is a farmer's Xiao Zhong —
rough, warm, rich.
Aroma — as if you took a jar of salted tomatoes and a branch of smoking plum from the cellar.
Taste:
dried prunes, honey, a bit of soot, a little leather and burnt wood.
No caramel, no syrup.
But with character.
Provides lasting warmth.
Relieves heaviness after meals.
Focuses attention to a point.
Aftertaste — long, astringent, with that bitter depth,
for which not everyone loves this tea — but if you understand,
there's no going back.
