From the Guangdong province of China, our Dancong oolong chatou is made from a blend of many varietals.
Another white2tea “ugly ain’t bad” type of tea. Our chatou is full of sorted stems and coarse older leavers from over a dozen high-end productions. These less than beautiful leaves still taste amazing and get a bad reputation because they’re not prom queen material, to which we say: fuck your prom, give us the good tea.
Every session will be different and unique. Unbeatable value for those seeking excellent dancong on a tight budget.
Each purchase is for 25 grams of tea.
Day 22 of the Tea Thoughts winter countdown box. A big chunk of today was spent browsing the mall for gifts because we’re very behind on holiday prep. Nothing seemed quite right so it took a while to find gifts we were happy with. We did find a Pokemon decked out for winter for our nephew, which is probably the most exciting thing we brought home. I had a couple Western-style mugs of this oolong before we left. I remember some minerality and roastiness but not much else. I’ll have to try this out with a gong fu brew.
Adventageddon Day 22
Gongfu!
Another interesting W2T tea from the Tea Thoughts advent today – both one I haven’t tried before and that I probably wouldn’t have thought to order for myself since the description doesn’t really speak to the flavour at all…
I liked this a lot. The leaf is a bit coarse and choppy looking, but it was velvety and roasty tasting with strong mineral and charred peanut/chestnut top notes before smoothly sliding into a round, mouth-coating sweet and jammy plum note with floral undertones of orchid and magnolia – an easy stand out for the day! Very happy that this was a larger 25g bag and that I’ll get to enjoy it more in the future.

A few months ago I cracked the side of a pastel green gaiwan that I just adored, and after a few days of hunting I finally found this one from Yunnan Sourcing to replace it. It’s not an exact replacement since the interior is a different colour and has some fish and lotus detailing on the rim, but it’s pretty close!!

(I think The Howl & The Hum is a VERY slept on band, and this most recent album is really fucking good. I’ve been listening to it a lot over the last month or so.)
