I enjoyed the 2016 version of this tea so much that I bought 25 g of the 2018 harvest. Using the same steeping parameters, I got the same jasmine, citrus peel, orange, guava, and vegetal (broccoli, spinach) notes as were present in the 2016 harvest, making this a refreshing Dan Cong for what I hope will be the last hot day of the summer. I got a good seven steeps before the inevitable vegetal fadeout.
If you like greener, floral- and citrus-heavy Dan Congs, I highly recommend this tea.
Flavors: Broccoli, Citrus, Gardenias, Guava, Jasmine, Orange Zest, Perfume, Spinach, Vegetal

Today was very unpleasant indeed. Looking forward to the weekend, the forecast seems good.
As for this tea, it sounds like something I would enjoy :)

I much prefer fall to summer, so I’m looking forward to the cooler weather as well.
This tea has a strong vegetal backbone, but the florals and fruit are worth it for me. I remember it costing around CAD$12 for 25 g.
