I had stopped trying Xing Reng because I could never “get” the almond fragrance the tea is named after. Time after time it was probably a blended inferior Bai Ye varietal and it would invariably have too much floral perfume. Well I’m glad to say this is a true representative of this fine Dan Cong. For the first pour it is imperative that you place your schnozzola just above the vessel, be gentle, as the hot water hits the thin threads of tea, bingo, almond fragrance. The soup has a lovely flavor, with almond, butter, floral tones, sweet, orange slight sourness in later steepings, just an all around enjoyable brew. I am really impressed by the offerings from this company and will continue my forays into their terroir.

my next shop to try out! any personal favourites?
Gotta say so far all are great but the old bush Shui xian is super yummy. This is the only purveyor that really speaks the oolong language other than Tea Drunk and at a fraction of the price. Enjoy
yeah tea drunk is way out of my price range, I would rather go direct to china. $40 for 7g ba xian is a bit much, unless it enables dimensional travel or something equally fun
Have you seen these yet? It is a bit off subject.

Looks nice, would use it for shou for sure.
i just completed an order with them. I’m really impressed by their Xing Ren Xiang. It has good depth and reminds me of the real old school Cantonese almond cookies made from pure almond!
schnozzola is a great word
#tanluwils stop making me hungry the tea lust is bad enough!!
I was going to use proboscis but Jimmy Durante snuck up on me.
Why resist?
