This is a very high-quality traditional Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, one of the best you can find in Europe. Proper and sufficient smoking is one of the key processes of traditional Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, but some excessive smokiness in the tea is never pleasant. And no wonder, the success of this tea consists in two factors related to smoking:
 
1). The masterful technique of how this factory smokes it with selected pine wood.
 
2). This factory always conserves this tea of each production for 4 years before putting them on sale, in order to turn the smoky notes gentle, as well as to balance the flavors. The lot number 2018/22 literally indicates that it is a tea of 2018 production and was launched in 2022.
 
This excellent tea brings all the typical features of a traditional Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, the fruitiness and sweetness of dehydrated longan, some cocoa and raisin notes, as well as some pleasant pine resin, all remaining stably in the well-balanced liquor during many infusions, and leaving satisfying aftertaste.
