This Dan Cong is reminiscent of Taiwanese high mountain oolongs a bit. The flavours seem more interesting than aromas here though. I can also see the similarity to Wu Dong Chou Shi Dan Cong (made from the same varietal), but this one has lighter body and is less complex for sure. Compared to similarly priced teas, it does last quite a bit.
In the dry leaf aroma there are notes of milk and fruits. After the rinse the bouquet changes to a more green and floral one with hints of bay leaves and some vegetables. The taste is crisp, tangy and sweet with notes of cream, fruits and grass. On the other hand, the aftertaste has a more floral and umami character with flavours like yellow bell pepper and plantains.
