Ta Ku Hou village is a small village near Phoenix town just to the west at an altitude of 1350 meters.  This is one of highest altitude villages in the Wu Dong mountainous area.  Our Ta Ku Hou Dan Cong is grown by one family and is from a small crop harvested from their own small tea garden.  The trees are between 60 and 120 years old and grow wild without intervention.

The tea itself is medium leaf, dry leaf is dark in color and when brewed is typically green with some brown.  The tea has been hand-picked and processed at each stage, and took more than a month of labor to complete.   The taste is very vibrant and complex with notes of fruit and eucalyptus.  There is a slight bitter which accentuates the fruity sweetness this tea delivers.  It's got a strong mouth-feel, cha qi and is very infusable.

A premium small-batch Dan Cong that imparts the depth and wisdom of this incredible tradition to those fortunate enough to try it.

Honey & Florals

"Surprised my lips started to pucker on the first brew, I think that means there's lots of minerals. Even on the 4th brew there are lots of floral and honey on the tongue and it's very smooth going down."

First Dan Cong.

"Rich flavor with hints of fruit and flower. Would buy again."

Great example of Dan Cong

"I've tried 10+ Dan Congs and this here is quite special. High mountain would suggest a lighter type, but this is only partially true. Complex, round, not bitter if brewed carefully. Fruity. Distinct Dan Cong type of taste (almond?, honey?). I've used 2.25g for 80 ml 90 degree water, brewed 1/1/1.30/2/3/5 minutes. Brews were quite balanced, third one got a hint of bitterness, but just a hint. Starting brew was light, then more full-bodied, till 3rd showing new aspects and character; starting from 4th was slightly flattening, bit by bit. 7th for 10 mins should still be ok though (but I moved on to another tea). Very good tea, making a journey from brew to brew. Highly recommended."
