From Tongmu to your cup

Zheng Shan Tang’s black-tea story is rooted in Tongmu, Wuyishan. Lapsang Souchong connects traditional making with the forested mountain landscape; smoked and unsmoked styles offer different ways to experience it. In 2005, the Zheng Shan Tang team developed Jin Jun Mei, adding a fine-bud expression to this black-tea tradition.

Craft, leaves and packaging

Leaf selection, withering, rolling, oxidation and drying shape the finished black tea. Different raw materials and making choices create different flavours. When choosing a pack, look at the stated origin, tea type, weight and options. Packaging markings can vary by edition; the authenticity guide explains which details to check.

Junmei processing across tea regions

Junmei China brings Junmei processing together with tea leaves from different Chinese regions. The range shows how origin and processing shape a tea together. Alongside Wuyishan, the range draws on Xinyang, Huangshan, Fengqing, Guangyuan, Guzhang, Badong, Pu’an, Shaoxing and Zhucheng.

A wider selection of Chinese tea

Alongside black tea, the store offers green, white, oolong and Pu’er teas, teaware and convenient tea formats. Explore the making, origin and flavour of each selection. A tea’s category and the product information are more useful than treating every tea as the same style of black tea.
