“This tea is a favorite in my household, that I’ve re-ordered many times. It tastes like roasted sweet potato, nutmeg, cinnamon, and molasses. My husband and I can’t get enough of it.” Read full tasting note

“Simple, maybe too simple tea. But you know, not always you have to drink fancy teas. It’s fine, but it is like eating raw sweet potato. Not a flavour profile that I will look for often.” Read full tasting note

The grower of this Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong (正山小种) calls this “Sweet Potato” (红薯) Xiao Zhong. The processing and roasting of this tea was done with the intention of creating a black tea that would be full-bodied, aromatic, yammy, sweet and slightly toasty (just like a baked sweet potato). This is a very tasty black tea that will a perfect addition to your black tea collection. It’s affordable and delicious but has a unique and satisfying character!
