From Yunnan Sourcing

“Bai Ye” (lit. White Leaf) Dan Cong is grown in Ling Tou village in the north of Raoping County (Guangdong Province). Bai Ye Dan Cong varietal plants are special in curved large appearance with light yellow-green crowns. The aroma has both Flower and Honey characteristics with a heavy pungent nectar quality. The taste is thick and pure with a sweet after-finish.

Our Bai Ye dan Cong was picked in late April 2018 and processed through May. Instead of being processed like Dan Cong Oolong, this teas was processed into Black Tea by wilting in small cloth bags in the sun and then shade.

The resulting tea is incredibly complex and unique. Bai Ye Hong Cha has thick sweetness and a very pronounced baked sweet potato taste that lasts many many infusions. This tea is both excellent and peerless. You simply can’t have a similar experience with any other tea. Highly recommended for Dan Cong and Black Tea aficionados alike!

Just 20 kilograms in total produced for Spring 2018!

dry leaf has very warm aromas: bread, custard, nougat.
wet leaf has brighter floral aromas with more custard and nougat and wet rock. some darjeeling-like elements as well.

palate has medium intensity and again plenty of nougat flavour. low astringency. lovely creamy texture.
mineral edge to it all

Flavours somewhat subtle. I’ll be curious to re-visit this in 6 months or so
