ZHENG SHAN XIAO ZHONG/lapsang souchong

Unsmoked Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong eschews the fiery smoke for a bolder, tannic embrace. Its robust body and dry wood whispers stand proud, not bitter but assertive. A multi-steep exploration, it evolves from sweet molasses and malt to a final, mineral-kissed oaky brew, revealing nature's unvarnished beauty.
