From Pekoe & Imp

Usually made into oolongs, dancongs are traditionally made & drank by the Teochew people, and loved for their naturally occurring fragrance and sweetness. The Honey Orchids are undoubtably the all time favourite type! Wudong, being the highest tea growing region in Phoenix Mountains at about 1400masl, naturally has the best teas! This batch from 136 year old tress is lighter oxidized, coaxing out lychee sweetness with powdery floral notes and just a slight hint of minerals, testament to the rich rocky terrior of Phoenix Mountains.

A nice dancong! I got this tea from a local online tea retailer and I decided to brew it in my Chaozhou teapot. I jammed the teapot with leaves and started the session. The leaves were pretty nice, relatively whole and uniform, and the aroma was pretty good as well, with wafting pungent floral and honey notes in the air. Liquor was clean and vibrant, and the flavour was decent as well, albeit having a slight bitter note to it but it was still good. Texture is smooth, slightly oily, slightly juicy, and the finish & aftertaste was really good, with lingering notes of honey and florality refreshing the mouth. Cha qi is okay, slight buzziness, and steep longevity is okay as well, with the tea lasting till around steep 8-9.

There are definitely better Dancongs out there, but this one isn’t bad especially for the price.
