From Bitterleaf Teas

Elegant and rich, this tea delivers an unmistakable wild orchid fragrance, for which this varietal is named after. In addition to the orchid fragrance, there is also a pleasant note of magnolia.

While this is highly fragrant, there is still substantial body and minerality, making this an excellent all around dancong that doesn’t just rely on an enticing fragrance that floats away. The flavour lingers well after taking a sip, with a nice huigan/sweetness returning in the throat.

This tea is an excellent starting point for anyone dipping their toes into Dancong, let alone those looking for a well performing value tea.

This Dan Cong is more floral and grainy than fruity for sure, but it also carries a good sweetness. The bitterness and astringency are medium, and can be easily adjusted with brewing method. The liquor is oily and the mouthfeel after drinking is quite interesting: drying, perfumy, tropical, and spicy.

Specific notes I notice are baked fruits, sesame, canola, clay, and many flowery ones.
