Medium Roast Spring Nutty, Fruity & Spiced Dancong

This Dan Cong Oolong offers a distinct aroma of roasted almonds, translating into a crisp, bittersweet flavor profile. Notes of honey and cream intertwine, creating a smooth and satisfying infusion. It leans nutty, sweet and creamy.

Water around 85–95 °C (185–205 °F). In a mug, steep 3–4 min. For gongfu, use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–30 s steeps (8–15 rounds). You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Heavier roasts can take boiling water no problem.

Grown in Guangdong, China from the Xing Ren Xiang cultivar. This batch is from the Spring 2024 harvest. The leaves got a medium roast after picking.

Starts at $9.50 from Yunnan Sourcing, or about $0.28/g. A 25g package gets you around 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.68 per session. Compare oolong prices across vendors on Teadar.
