Our Middle Mountain Sweet Potato Aroma 香番薯 Dan Cong Oolong is grown in Shi Tou Jiao Di Village at an altitude of 980 Meters. It comes from trees and bushes growing naturally that are 20-80 years of age. No pesticides or artificial fertilizers were used.

This is a medium+ level of roast that was laboriously roasted, rested and re-roasted many times to achieve a high level of aroma and body. Further aging will benefit this tea as the roast taste transforms this tea in a bouquet of fruit, honey and orchids!

Origin of the name: It is named "Sweet Potato Aroma" because the tea leaves have a strong sweet potato fragrance after brewing.

Features: The leaves and stems are lightly rolled, and the color is grayish brown and oily. There is a strong sweet potato aroma, the tea soup is smooth and mellow, the sweetness is long-lasting and the fragrance is high and long-lasting.

Crystalline Mineral Yam! 🍠

"Yammy sweet potato rock oolong. It's a perfect balance between the warmth of a roasted sweet potato and the lightness of dan cong oolong. I was surprised by how drinkable it is. Some oolongs can feel too light and some sweet potato hong cha can feel too heavy, and this one is the perfect compromise. Very tasty as a base for a milk tea pudding with brûléed muscovado on top! 😍😋 Thank you YS for yet another lovely offering 🍠💕"

This tea pretty much has

"This tea pretty much has it all. Great aroma everywhere. The aroma in the Storage container, the warmed teaware awaiting water and in the pot through 8 to 10 flushes. The flavor is what Dan cong is all about. If you are looking for a fantastic Dan cong this will do it for you."

A good solid tea

"Not my favourite tea, but still very good. I consider this to meet the promises, although it doesn't go beyond. As some of the teas do. I don't regret buying a lot and it's on my list to buy more."

Deliciousness

"Malted toasted notes with a refreshing sweet finish - well balanced and complex. Even has some minerality on the finish. Good value for the price and a tea I would certainly reorder."

— Marek I. (4/5)

A treasure

"Wow, I didn’t know what to expect from this tea, and I am currently drinking my first cup of it brewed gong fu style. The flavor is absolutely mesmerizing - I can’t say I’ve had many other teas like it! Floral, fruity, and yes, sweet potato-y. It is very bright and making me nostalgic in a vague way. I already know I will be ordering more of this one."

— Mitch (5/5)
