This is a green dan cong that has more aroma than flavor. Big floral notes hit the nose along with honey, mint, and lemongrass. The brewed tea is thick and has a savory flavor. There’s a vegetable soup quality to it along with some floral and a bit of astringency. The taste reminds me of the later steeps of a green TGY. It remains extremely aromatic steep after steep, but flavor is somewhat uneven. To me, this lacks the refinement of a Taiwanese oolong or even some of the better Chinese oolongs. A decent tea for easy sipping when you want something simple that you don’t have to think too much about.
