Dan Cong Ya Shi Xiang, Dongfang Hongzhifu Bushes

Dan Cong Ya Shi Xiang from Dongfang Hongzhifu bushes is one of the boldest teas in the Dan Cong family. The aroma carries lime, ripe melon and gooseberry, while the flavor unfolds gradually: the first infusions bring a light bitterness with a hint of caramel, and by the third or fourth steep a generous mango sweetness builds with every pour.

A rich, layered taste and a long finish make this oolong a favorite among connoisseurs of Chinese tea. Brew it the traditional way (a 4-4-5-5 second ratio for the first steeps) and drink a glass or two of water before tasting to fully open up the flavor.
