XiaoZhong Black

XiaoZhong Black – Wholesale Heritage Wuyi Mountain Black Tea

XiaoZhong Black was first produced in 1568 at Tongmu Guan in the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian, China, the place recognized as the birthplace of black tea. With more than four centuries of heritage behind it, this classic still surprises tea drinkers today. For cafes, tea shops and retailers, it combines a compelling origin story with a naturally sweet, approachable cup at a price that supports daily sales.

The dry leaves are dark and glossy, threaded with golden buds, and give off a longan-like dried-fruit aroma with honeyed sweetness. Infused, the tea turns a radiant amber-red and delivers a thick, heavy sweetness with no bitterness. The flavor is deep and long, with notes of longan, wildflowers and a touch of sweet potato, and the texture is thick, smooth and soft around a sweet, honeyed core. A key strength is endurance: it keeps its flavor for more than 12 infusions, so a small quantity of leaf goes a long way. It is made using traditional techniques, performs well both Western-style in a mug and gongfu-style in a gaiwan, and can be taken plain or with a splash of milk.
