Xiao Zhong Black Tea 101

小种红茶 · A Classic Chinese Black Tea Style

Xiao Zhong Hong Cha belongs to the Chinese black-tea tradition.

In English, the category is:

Black Tea

In Chinese tea terminology:

Hong Cha · 红茶 · “Red Tea”

The Chinese term refers to the reddish or amber character associated with the brewed infusion.

Internationally, Xiao Zhong tea is commonly associated with the name:

Lapsang Souchong

This product also carries a stated:

Wuyi Origin · 武夷原产

Together:

Xiao Zhong · Wuyi · Chinese Black Tea

form the core identity of this tea.


Is All Lapsang Souchong Smoky?

Not Necessarily

Lapsang Souchong is widely associated internationally with smoky black tea.

However, that does not mean every Xiao Zhong product should automatically be described as heavily smoked.

For this specific product, the supplied packaging confirms:

Xiao Zhong Hong Cha / 小种红茶

Wuyi Origin / 武夷原产

Traditional Craft / 传统工艺

Core Production Area / 核心产区

It does not explicitly state:

Smoked

Pine-Smoked

Traditional Pine-Smoke Processing

For that reason, no unsupported smoke-processing or smoky-flavor claim is added.

Clear Tea Information · No Assumed Smokiness


Approx. 33 Brewing Portions

Using approximately:

3 g per Everyday Brewing Session

one 100 g tin provides around:

33 Brewing Portions

Because the same leaves can generally be infused multiple times, those brewing sessions can become many individual cups.

Ideal for:

Morning Tea · Afternoon Tea · Home Tea · Office Tea · Gongfu Sessions

100 g · Approx. 33 Portions · Multiple Infusions


A Warmer Side of Chinese Tea

Chinese tea does not have one single character.

Green Tea

often emphasizes:

Freshness · Lightness · Green Character

Xiao Zhong Black Tea

moves toward:

Warmth · Depth · Amber Character

That contrast makes Xiao Zhong a natural tea to explore for customers moving beyond Chinese green tea.

Green Tea for Freshness · Xiao Zhong for Warmth


Made for Everyday Black Tea Drinking

Traditional Chinese black tea does not need to wait for a formal tea session.

Brew it in the morning.

Keep it beside you during a quiet afternoon.

Use a gaiwan when you want to explore.

Use an infuser mug when you simply want a warm cup.

The 100 g format gives you enough tea to move beyond a single tasting and become familiar with Xiao Zhong.
