Ju Duo Zai is a rare varietal of Dan Cong Bush grown by just a few families in the Feng Huang (Phoenix) village area of Wu Dong Mountains.  Ju Duo Zai is characterized by small-medium sized leaf, dark green appearance, with very large sawtooth edges.  Ju Duo Zai is in fact the least grown varietal of Dan Cong.

After picking and processing into "mao cha" (lit. unfinished tea), the tea is roasted, stored and then roasted two more times at low temperature.  This roasting is very gentle and you will notice that even though the dry tea leaves are black, when the tea is brewed the infused leaves are still mostly green in color.  It is also called "Xing Ren Xiang" (Almond Aroma), although most Dan Cong processed into "Almond Aroma" style is not the Ju Duo Zai varietal.

The taste is sweet and fruity with a slight bitterness and no astringency.  There is a slight roasted marshmallow sweetness and the tea lingers in the mouth and throat lubricating it even after you've completed your tea session.

"This tea continues to improve and evolve with time, I have approximately 200 grams left from this 2016 harvest and every cup is better than the last. It ages well and carries its remarkable flavor across many infusions. Easily one of the best teas I've ever had."

"I stocked up on this Ju Duo Zai last spring and have been slowly working my way through many many cups of this delicious and intriguing tea. It continues to evolve with time. The marshmallow-like sweetness is pervasive in the cup, and upfront in the aroma. There are wafts of woodsy notes and an olive oil like smoothness in the aftertaste that sets this Dan Cong oolong apart from others. There is no bitterness, only the slightest amount of astringency in the aftertaste which adds some complexity and gives the tea a really fascinating hui gan. A remarkable experience and worth a try if you want something that is subtle yet profound. This tea will easily go 10+ steeps gong-fu style, and can hold its own when brewed western style."
