Traditional & Specialty Dancong

This oolong from Guangdong, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This exquisite Dancong Oolong presents a vibrant bouquet of fragrant orchids and ripe stone fruits, delicately intertwined with a subtle minerality. Its liquor offers a smooth, full-bodied experience,. It sits in the "Floral" and "Fruity" and "Mineral" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans floral and fruity and mineral.

Aim for water around 85–95 °C (185–205 °F). Western style: steep for 3–4 minutes in a mug or teapot. Gongfu style: use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–30 s infusions (8–15 steeps) for multiple short steeps — this way you can taste how the flavor evolves. Roasted oolongs can handle higher temps — don't be afraid of boiling water for heavy roasts.

This oolong is grown in Guangdong, China and is made from the Da Wu Ye cultivar. This particular batch comes from the 2022 harvest.
