Very nice example of the Phoenix powerhouse fragrant tea. Right away I noticed the leaf as well processed, tight twist and roasted lightly Over the top floral notes and the flavors of honeysuckle, musk melon and slightly sweet. Well structured mouth-feel and a tiny bit of astringency that compliments this teas aromatic boldness. This is one of those teas that I give to jaded coffee drinkers to win them over to our side.

Dancong’s are what converted me to full fledged tea drinker from coffee. That was one I eyeballed along with the Ba Xian and the Snowflake Da Wu Ye…but I’m on a “budget” and used my Amazon Gift Card on a Golden Lily and Eco-Cha’s Dong Ding. The Golden Lily is from a company called Immortalitea, and I’m curious to see how it is.

So this one is a bit sweet?

Yes just a bit sweet but profound florals

Funny, the first Dancong I had from YS was disappointing, in that it tasted like an inexpensive Wuyi. However, I’ve been able to muster up the confidence try this one since lately I’ve been more than happy with Scott’s other oolongs and this one has been so favorably reviewed. I’m pretty sure I won’t regret it.

I had less than appealing results from their earlier choices but there has been a concerted effort of late to bring a better offering. While it has gotten better it’s still just above average, there are better vendors and as with anything you lose out on the gamble sometimes but when you hit the mother load stick with it. Sites I like are Tea Urchin, Trees Drunk and Dragon Tea House.
