Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, otherwise known as Lapsang Souchong, comes from the region of Tong Mu Guan located in northern Fujian Province. In Chinese “Zheng Shan” refers to genuine Lapsang Souchong cultivated only on Wuyi Mountain, while “Xiao Zhong” refers to the variety of tea bush, a small leaf varietal, used in the production of this tea. This variety of Organic Lapasang Souchong comes from a small village located within Tong Mu Guan named Xing Cun, or Star Village. Xing Cun is where original Lapsang Souchong was created over 400 years ago.
