This Dan Cong is crafted from 60 to 120 year Dan Cong trees growing in the middle-high elevation (1150 meters) of the Wu Dong mountains.  The family harvests just 8 kilograms per season of this lovely tea from a small cluster of older trees.  The is processed entirely by hand into a kind of greenish "mao cha", then roasted carefully in clay jars, stored for a week and then roasted 2 more time, each time with a rest time.  The tea despite being roasted still maintains some green character which infuses it's sweet character. The roasted brown character brings some fruit and spice to the tea which really does remind one of cinnamon.  There is also a really strong cream taste (nai xiang) present in this tea. 

Incredibly complex and tasty tea!

Great tea but rather overpriced

"Smell: roasted spices, probably also some cinnamon Tasting notes: intense fruits and spices (probably also some cinnamon), very stable over the course of many brews 5g/100ml, 99C, 15s->5s->5s"

Favorite milky/cream nai xiang tea!

"Phenomenal if you like nai xiang, nuo mi xiang or milk aroma teas. I've noticed this is a bit finicky to brew. 4-5 in 100ml gaiwan @ 180 degrees hots the mark for me. 5 really decent infusions and 2 that peter off a bit but still good. Its soft demulcent milky mouth feel coupled with a slight spicyness really makes for unique experience. I bought the caddy and then 100g bag after. Caddy is cute and is great for tea gear flexing lol"

Pleasant and full bodied

Excellent and very balanced

"There's a sharp taste of... something; I'm not sure if it's cinnamon. Relatively thin texture for a Dan Cong oolong. The flavour is lightly fruity, lightly astringent, and the aftertaste has more cinnamon. It's good! One of the longer-lasting Dan Cong teas I've tried, and by far the most balanced. It goes for 8+ steeps without any problem. Since I wanted just a sample to try, I got the caddy version; it's nice, and works well for storing tea with some air circulation, but not too much. However, I sort of wish I'd ordered a larger quantity of tea, as this was very good, but expensive."

Mild cinnamon aroma makes this

"Mild cinnamon aroma makes this tea unique and tasty. Wonderful afternoon tea."

— cindy l. (4/5)

perfect for special occasions

"The cinnamon aroma tea bears a resemblance to a good rou gui, and is a great balance of flavors. It has a soft texture and lingering notes of sweet cinnamon that make it the perfect tea for an afternoon of sipping and relaxing. The clay pot it comes in is very attractive on the shelf, and further enhances the 'specialness' of the tea. This is a fantastic gift item for tea lovers."
