drank Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong by Yezi Tea
880 tasting notes

The new 2014 batch. AMAZING.

I just ordered an ounce. I need to have a cup. Your sample a while back is what got me hooked.

It’s really, really good! It tastes like caramel and cinnamon with a bit of smoke. The only astringency is upfront, subtle, and very short lived. The liquor is so clear. Honestly, I never knew that I could like Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong until I had Yezi’s… and now, this batch just blows me away. All of this talk… I think I’m going to brew up some more! :) I hope that you enjoy it! I can only imagine how good it will taste when it has aged a year.

Where did you get it? It sounds like the king of ZSXZ I like: faintly smoked, but still delicate.

Just read: Yezi Tea. A pity that shipping to Europe cost as much as the tea. I would have liked to compare it with mine: http://www.nannuoshan.org/collections/black/products/zheng-shan-xiao-zhong

Bio

Wolf girl. Writer. Artist. Gamer. Geek.

I joined Steepster back in August of 2009. Since then, I have been lurking around shyly and taken it all in. Just recently, I decided to log all of the teas that I have in my cupboard and from there I decided to be a bit more active on the site!

I’m addicted to four things: Tea, wolves, indie perfume, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

My favorite teas right now: Ming Hong and Halmonicha

Broadly speaking I also love: Most Chinese red teas, most Fujian oolongs, and balhyochas.

I’ve been drinking loose-leaf teas since childhood. I love everything from tieguanyin to gyokuro to a good British cuppa. I am looking forward to trying every tea type out there and building an extensive pu-erh library.
