The winter harvest is called "Snowflake Dan Cong" and has the lowest harvest quantity per bush of any Dan Cong.

Reviews

Good tea!

"A refined Dan Cong. I put a little more of it in my tea pot and drink it for hours, gong fu style"

— Tomo H. (5/5)

Somewhat on the light side

"Somewhat light but still very flavorful. Woodsy and floral."

— Paul S. (5/5)

Balanced but full

"The wet leaf smell has a sort of deep sweet, almost tropical fruit note with an earthy walnut brightness. The tea itself has a lovely rich gold orange liqueur that is full bodied, slightly drying, sweet and floral finish, with a lasting sweet aftertaste. A quick evolution that can handle extended steep times in the later brews. Overall I feel this has a very unique flavor profile that is well balanced and full bodied."

— Charlie B. (5/5)

Balanced Dan Cong

"This is a very balanced DC with plenty of floral notes, but also a fruity sweet center. Roast level is medium from my experience with DC. I get many steeps from this tea and there is a long lasting huigan."

— Frederick B. (5/5)

quite light, not enough rosted

"I am a bit disappointed by this Dancong. It's too light. Noticeable flowery notes. The fruity notes are not pronounced, to the countray to a classical DaWuYe, which is reputated for its dark, mature fruity notes, red grappe notes. I was looking forward to drinking a nice smoky, chocolated Bourgogne (Pinot Noir), finally i am impression of having received a quite light young Gewürztraminer."

— Yusheng W. (3/5)

Da Wu Ye Dancong (aka snowflake dancong winter harvest)

"Delicous Dancong. Big fan of this variety. Typically shuixian flavors. I would say its more bold if compared with a almond dancong or something else more “exclusive“. I like this one. Flavor is rather difficult to describe but for me its a bit the “sheng of the dancong“ teas. Some big tea leafs in there, healthy looking. No dust. Will definitely buy again. Scott and his wife are awesome."
