What is the black tea that smells like Zheng Lu Wan?

Maybe it’s the ‘Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong’ which has a flavor not quite to your liking.

Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong’ is a black tea with a very distinct personality, people who love it love it, people who hate it don’t even want to touch it. Such a tea is afraid that it is very difficult to find a second one.

The ‘first black tea ever invented by mankind’ is also the reason why it is famous all over the world. The processing of Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong requires the use of pine needles or pine firewood to smoke the tea leaves dry, and through this unique process, the essential oil of the pine tree then seeps into the tea leaves, breeding a wonderful flavor that is unparalleled. Because the smoked pine fragrance and horn trademark of the main ingredients of the Zheng Lu Wan is very similar, making many people have a not-so-good impression of Zheng Shan Xiaozhong, that ‘this tea smells like Zheng Lu Wan’s taste. Some people say that this is because the merchants in order to emphasize the characteristics of the product, deliberately put a strong pine flavor smoked into the export of foreign tea. Others say that European aristocrats in order to pretend to be tea connoisseurs in high society, will deliberately pick the scent with exotic Zhengshan Xiaozhong drink.

In fact, high-quality Zhengshan Xiaozhong should have had a fragrance similar to that of cinnamon, and drank with a rich, sweet and fruity flavor. Some people encounter good tea the first time they drink it, and it becomes unstoppable. At one time in 17th century England, people referred to Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong as ” Bohea”. This word originally referred to ‘Wuyishan’, which was famous for its rock tea, so you can see that this tea was still very much sought after at the time, enjoying the ‘top quality tea from China’ treatment.
