Sweet and caramelicious, as described. Very very smooth and delicious. I’m brewing a little more than a gram of tea in a tiny yixing pot, water about 185 degrees for a start, amazing lovely stuff. This would make an excellent ‘starter’ Dan Cong—hard to imagine it going wrong in any unpleasant way. 3 infusions in, still very lovely. Sweet, caramel, fruity—stewed fruit rather than fresh, perhaps—and just a hint of spice.
Back many infusions later—infusions 30 seconds or more now, water 205 degrees, and still delicious—the spiciness is to the fore more now, and still sweet and rich, but a little thinner. Quite a lovely tea.

Thief Poop!
Thief poop, lol
I’ve wanted to try that one for a while, been afraid of the cost vs. volume.
None of the TeaHabitat ‘single bush’ Dan Congs are cheap, but I’ve always enjoyed them. I brew them up in a very small pot or gaiwan, and get a lot of infusions out of them, so the price per unit of enjoyment is not so bad.
