“A wonderful, wonderful dancong! I got this tea from my recent BLT order, and it really is a well-rounded dancong. Nice and complex aroma paired with a wonderful flavour full of complexity, really...” Read full tasting note
With a name like “Mother of Ginger” Fragrance, we were initially skeptical as to how much of a ginger quality this tea can have, especially since the more common “ginger flower” fragrance varietal leans towards a floral profile, rather than resembling the spicy rhizome itself. Nope, we were wrong – this truly is the mother of ginger. Like so many Dancong varietals (expect duck shit), this tea 100% lives up to its name.
It might not be as obvious in the first brew, but as the session goes on with this tea, a noticeable warming sensation picks up in the mouth and the throat. This tea is technically classified as having a floral fragrance; however, this is only slightly on display, with the spicy note taking the forefront.
Made from high mountain Wudong material that has been charcoal roasted, this tea also offers a thick body and brown-sugary sweetness. If you’ve ever tried making your own ginger beer, then this could very well be considered the tea equivalent of that.
