Pressed Xiaozhong: A Treasure in a Briquette
Pressed Xiaozhong is a unique form of red tea that deserves special attention. It consists of tightly pressed tea leaves in a brick. This form is not only convenient for storage and transportation but also allows the tea to retain its aromatic and flavorful qualities longer.
What is Xiaozhong?
Xiaozhong is a variety of red tea native to China. It is prized for its soft, balanced flavor with fruity and floral notes. Xiaozhong boasts numerous beneficial properties, including antioxidant properties, tonic properties, and improved digestion.
The moment the brick is opened, a velvety, tobacco-woody aroma with hints of baked fruit emerges. After washing, this intensifies and is complemented by spicy notes with a subtle sweet trail.
The flavor is rich, sugary, tobacco-woody, and spicy, buttery and velvety in just the right amount. As you steep more, this tea maintains its flavor profile, gradually developing a tartness with a pleasant bitterness.
The tea can be steeped up to six times, using a ratio of 10 grams of tea (1 square) per 150 ml of boiling water. The aftertaste is sweet and spicy, with woody and tobacco nuances.

- Originality: Pressed tea is not only a drink, but also a real work of art.
