From the Guangdong province of China, our Parasol Dancong oolong tea is made from niangzaisan varietal.
The name Niangzaisan roughly translates as “young girl with an umbrella”. It’s a varietal named for the parasol shape of the trees. Rarely sold in the west, this is a varietal that is not very well-known or widely produced. It’s an elegant tea, bursting with flavors of overripe fruit. If you’ve made the rounds with all of the usual Dancong suspects, you can’t skip this.
