Generations of Zhengshan Xiaozhong

The pride of Tongmuguan

Wu Chongfa and his wife Chen Chunfeng take care of the precious wild tea trees of the xiaozhong variety that grow among forests and rivers in the historical Tongmuguan. You see them here in the photo posing with our Vivian, with some of their trees in the backgound. Their family have been producing Zhengshan Xiaozhong for generations and their trees are now even more worthy of preservation since it is formally forbidden to plant new ones.

Crafted to perfection

They only work with the best material, harvesting once a year only in April. The leaves are carefully hand-processed in the traditional wooden houses, where the third floor is dedicated to the final drying of the tea leaves. Their Zhengshan Xiaozhong is winner of many gold medal awards in specific competitions, so many awards that they eventually stopped competing.

Their trees share the terroir of Wuyishan park, growing on steep slopes up to an altitude of 1.600mt asl.

The Laocong - "old trees" - living here have a taste outcome that reflects the local terroir while other cultivars on their lands have such a beautiful fruity fragrance that they decided to give it the name of "Litchee", the sweetest of fruits, loved by the Emperor favourite concubine Yangyu Huan.

An pure and honest tea

When it comes to Zhengshan Xiaozhong there are many different vendors selling even more version of this classic. But after trying many of them this one stood out for being exactly what one would expect from this renownd origin. It has a nice floral note to it, lasts a fair few infusions, isn't overly malty and layerd and complex. A nice to to sip with a nice and hearty meal.

Un ritorno sorprendente

Da un po' di tempo avevo lasciato perdere il rituale del té, un po' per il poco tempo a disposizione ma soprattutto perché non trovavo i sapori soddisfacenti al mio palato.
Vengo a conoscenza di Eastern Leaves quasi per caso e decido, con non poca curiosità, di farci un salto e di portarmi a casa due té "per ricominciare".
Posso confermare che questo Zhengshan Xiaozhong lo apprezzerebbe anche chi col té in foglia non ci ha mai avuto a che fare, mi ha fatto cambiare idea su tutto, il sapore, i profumi, ci sono eccome, è la materia prima che cambia.

Dear Lorenzo, thank you very much for your beautiful words: they are so encouraging for our work! We are truly happy to have been part of your re-encounter with tea, and we wish you the best from the next infusions, with brand new eyes. A hug!

The perfect breakfast tea

Never have I started loving a tea faster than this particular zhengshan xiaozhong. I drink tea everyday and different teas per day, but this zhengshan xiaozhong is my comfort zone. The one I am always happy to go to every morning as first thing of the day. It has the perfect balance of sweet brown sugar, fruity and malty, with a full fragrance that holds many brews. I'm just never tired of it.
