Description

A unique Oolong from Guangdong which is produced using an unusual method: moist tea, instead of being heated, is placed in a freezer. The result of this production method is an excellent Oolong of a totally different kind. Ya Shi Xiang DC is used as the base tea for Bing Xiang DC.

The tea has a rich fruity and floral aroma. The taste is luscious, fruity and long-lasting, slightly similar to the taste of Shen Puerh. Despite the “freezing” production method this tea will keep you warm and cozy.

Bing Xiang Dan Cong is a tea for special occasions and it knows how to make an unforgettable impression. It can be served in the morning, afternoon or evening.
