Our first time selling this dancong called xiang fan shu, which is the Guangdong name for the fragrance of sweet potatoes that falls under the broad varietal category of shuixian.
The aromatics have notes of sticky baked yams and a starchy sweetness laid upon the roast. An interesting dancong for those seeking something a bit out of the ordinary.
Each purchase is for 25 grams of tea.
Gongfu!
Tried this one for the first time yesterday. It’s very enjoyable, but quite a bit different from what I’d expected it to taste like. Medium-bodied but with a very slick and sticky feeling liquor. Though the tail end of the sip was usually at least a bit starchy and sweet potato-esque, I mostly found this to be a rather fragrant and floral tasting oolong with really prominent notes of candied violets, rose, and magnolia with jammy black currant and lychee undertones. I was really anticipating more of a sweet brown sort of flavour direction with some more minerality, but it’s amazing how “purple” the whole session tasted!! Has anyone else tried this tea or has more experience with this Xiang Fan Shu fragrance/varietal of shuixian? I’m curious to hear other opinions since I feel like my tasting notes are off enough from the site description…
