Since Tongmuguan is now a National Nature Reserve, the felling of pine trees is strictly forbidden. To preserve this 400-year-old tradition, our tea masters must hand-collect scattered, fallen pinewood from deep within the forest. This sustainable labor of love ensures each batch carries the authentic, clean pine-smoke character that defines the original Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fff; padding: 25px; border-left: 4px solid #634133; margin: 30px 0; box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 0; color: #634133;\"\u003eMulti-Altitude Depth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur tea garden stretches along a narrow mountain corridor ranging from 800 to 1,200 meters.
