Chinese black tea uses small-leaf or large-leaf tea trees, which are hand-picked and made with traditional and innovative techniques to create complex flavors of flowers, fruits, honey or smoke. Western black tea usually uses large-leaf varieties, which are made into crushed tea through CTC (crush-tear-curl) process obtain a strong refreshing feeling and are optimized for the taste of milk and sugar. Chinese tea pursues the pure taste of tea.

Lapsang souchong black tea was first created by our company family's ancestors. It has the aroma of pine smoke and longan, and is the originator of the world's black tea. Jinjunmei was first created by Jiang Yuanxun, the founder of Zhengshantang. It has the aroma of flower, fruit and honey, and a sweet taste. It is a representative work of China's high-end black tea. They not only have a profound historical heritage and unique production process, but also have obvious advantages in aroma, taste and appearance.

①Use pure water above 95°C. ②Use a 120-150 ml covered bowl and add 3-5 grams of tea leaves. ③Drain the tea immediately after the first three infusions, soak for 10 seconds for the 4th-6th infusion to increase the aroma, and extend the infusion time by 5 seconds each time thereafter. High-quality black tea can be brewed more than 8 times in a row

Unlike tea bags with crushed leaves, high-quality loose leaf tea extracts substances more slowly and retains its aroma for a longer time. Tea's resistance to brewing is also an important indicator of tea quality. For example, Zhengshantang Jinjunmei, the raw materials come from the core protection area of Wuyishan National Park at high altitude. They are harvested once a year, and only the first spring tea tree buds are harvested. After the accumulation of summer, autumn and winter, the tea buds are rich in substances, so 3 grams of tea can be repeatedly brewed more than 12 times.

High-quality black tea can brew a rich aroma and sweet taste without adding anything. If you like, you can also try milk and sugar with strong tea (for example, crush the black tea and boil it into a deep red soup). But we recommend tasting it directly first, you may discover a new world!

Chinese black tea contains antioxidant ingredients such as tea polyphenols and theaflavins, which can beautify the skin and promote digestion. Moderate drinking can help enhance immunity, and its gentle fermentation process can protect the stomach and intestines, making it suitable for long-term drinking.

High-quality black tea leaves are tight and oily, with a rich aroma and no impurities. After brewing, the tea soup is orange-yellow or orange-red, translucent and clear, with a mellow and sweet taste, and the leaves are soft and complete.

High-end Chinese tea pursues the original taste of tea without adding any flavors. Different tea tree varieties (such as Feizixiao’s lychee aroma), origin climate (such as lapsang souchong’s herbal aroma) and process differences (such as pinewood smoking gives lapsang souchong’s pine smoke aroma) together create a rich aroma.

Black tea can be stored for a long time, but it needs to be sealed and moisture-proof to avoid light. Long-term storage will easily cause the aroma to lose. After 3-5 years of transformation, the black tea with rich substances will become more mellow and present a unique aged flavor.

In autumn and winter, it is advisable to drink strong black tea to warm the body and nourish the stomach; in spring and summer, lightly fermented black tea (such as Junmei black tea) or cold brew can be used to cool down. It is recommended to drink tea with snacks in the morning to refresh yourself, and drink it in the evening to reduce the concentration of tea.
