This Hua Xiang Xiao Zhong is from Wuyi, Fujian. Unlike our smoked Lapsang Souchong, which has a smoky flavor, and wild Lapsang Souchong, which has a sweet caramel aroma, this tea is distinguished by its natural flowery and fruity fragrance.
Lightly sniff the dry tea; it has a light natural floral scent and a pleasant ripe fruit aroma that is modest yet long-lasting. Place the dry tea in a warm and moist tea set, gently shake it, and the scent is quickly stimulated: a flowery smell, like orchid or rose, coupled with a fruit and honey perfume, refreshing and pleasing. After brewing, the tea liquid is clear and amber in color. The initial sip is sweet and juicy, followed by flowery and fruity aromas that fill every corner of our mouth. The taste is rich and full-bodied, with several levels of flavors. It is also infusion-resistant. If you like Lapsang Souchong tea, this is a must-have one.
