Reviews
The shop should sell better
"The shop should sell better grade of tea(all kind- Oolong teas, dancong oolong teas, Wuyi Rock teas) If you can have King Grade of all the above teas I mention, I would not mind to pay more for better teas. I hope you will have AAA or King Grade teas coming soon. The ones I have are not in high flower aroma (flower aroma not at the top I express, you should get some AAA or King Grade, top aroma teas) (or 輕焙烏龍, 輕焙Dancong, and 輕焙Wuyi Rock teas will have more flower aroma) Less fire aroma will be better."

Exactly how I remember it
"I was many years ago the first time I had this tea and I was utterly smitten back then. The rose like aroma and rich citrusy taste with only the mildest astringency with a very distant white pepper finish that you'd miss if you'd blinked and the brew like a citrine jewel. That tea was nigh impossible to obtain in the US for years afterwards and finding a trustworthy, quality source just as daunting. But today, here I am, grateful to Yunnan Sourcing for the opportunity to buy a reasonably priced kilogram of impeccable quality. I shall treasure this tea for as long as I can."

Spicy floral bouquet
"Great quality dancong. As soon as I added the leaves to a heated gaiwan, I could smell the lilac and magnolia aroma. After a quick rinse, this transformed into citrus flower, orchid and fresh rubber smell with hints of rye bread. The taste was sweet, slightly bitter, dark cherry, nutmeg and mace. The texture was light, almost brothy. The empty cups smelled like mangosteens. The aftertaste was floral, mineral and slightly bitter that lasted for a long time. Overall, from 5g of leaf in a 100ml gaiwan, I could brew 7 times."

Simply incredible
"I think this is my new favorite dan cong oolong tea from YS. It has such a complex floral fragrance and taste that is extremely resilient to brewing. Early steeps are beautifully floral and fruity, while your middle steeps see some spice notes emerging, before a more “standard” oolong liberally sweetness becomes evident later. You should really use a huiweibei (some of the first steep after the wash reserved for drinking as the last serving) for this one, because it ends up tasting like fruit candy."

"I’ve tried around 6 different Dancongs from three different sellers and the middle mountain pomelo flower is my favorite so far. notes of buttery croissants, wildflower honey, tangerine zest, rose hips, freshly baked donuts, and tinned peaches."

A good dancong. Far superior
"A good dancong. Far superior to the YS Milan Xiang, inferior to the Jianghua. Good, but not powerful aroma, balanced taste, little bitterness. Not as finicky to brew as some DCs."
