Tasting notes: very floral aroma

"Tasting notes: very floral aroma that leaves one longing for more. When brewed for a long time has some citrusy notes. 5g/100ml, 99C, 15s->5s->5s"

incredible aroma

"A year later and I'm back with some more Gong Xiang in my belly! I'm still in the same boat as when I wrote my first review - this is a nuanced, subtle, and complex dan cong with a lot going on, and a lot to appreciate if you've been around the block and want to try something new. Although the flavor profile of this tea is hard to pinpoint, what's not hard at all to pinpoint is the high level of aroma these leaves have. It's incredible - definitely catch a couple of good sniffs from the bottom of the cup as it cools between pours. You'll see what I mean. This tea opens up with a citrus note that reminds me of mandarins - not quite as sweet as the fruit, but not quite as bitter as the peel. This note is a little tangy, which creates a nice sensation in the mouth against the backdrop of the toasty-nutty, sweet-woodsy, and herbaceous-floral notes this tea imparts. The mouthfeel is not as strong as other dan cong but the aftertaste is there for sure and it's sweeter than most. Especially if you push this tea in the second half, which I would suggest doing if you want to keep that high floral aroma around until the very end of your session. 5 grams in a 100mL teapot gives me 8 to 10 cups, brewed between 190*F to 212*F for anywhere from 10 seconds to 10 minutes."

nuanced & subtle

"This is a really interesting dan cong. It has the deceptively smooth, floral qualities of an expertly-made Huang Zhi and the incredibly satisfying nuttiness of a high mountain Ju Duo Zai with a kind of cooling-floral sweetness in the aftertaste that is reminiscent of Ye Lai. Smell the cup as it cools between pours - these leaves really are gracious down to the very last wafts of the "tribute fragrance" they put off. In other words, this tea has a lot going on... A LOT! It's a good choice for dan cong aficionados. I think this dan cong requires a high level of skill to brew, the flavor profile is so subtle that you can easily miss the "wow" factor in these leaves. There are many complex nuances that you have to peel apart carefully otherwise you run the risk of having the flavors fade away, melt together, or worst of all - turn bitter. This tea is hard to wrestle back on track if you start to lose it in the middle, but you also have to change the pace if you want to keep that high floral aroma around until the end, otherwise it can get a little muted. The back end of this tea is perhaps the trickiest. The first time I brewed it, I thought it was a little thin and didn't have the tongue-gripping astringency I thought it would for this level of roast ... but as I brewed it more and more and learned how to work these leaves, I ended up with a very potent mouthfeel and a floral aftertaste that was very clean and lingered persistently for about an hour."
