Tong Tian Xiang Phoenix Mountain Dancong from Verdant Tea
97

I usually don’t read the descriptions until I jot down my original thoughts, first! BUT…this time I read it prior. I’m going to try my best not to let it sway my thoughts/opinions/findings. Here-goes!

While infusing these leaves it smells woodsy and a bit like pink peppercorns with a hint of apricot, perhaps.

Upon first sip I can taste a woodsy-lime-creamy type taste…it’s pretty interesting! I don’t think I have ever tasted a tea quite like this.

I agree with a few other steepers in saying that my previous DanCong experiences have tasted more like a Big Red Robe but this is much different!

My 2nd sip revealed a peppery corn type flavor, oddly, but interestingly enough this surprises me in a very good way!

The more I sip – the more complex this tea is – I LOVE that!

As it cools I can pick up on the apricot and blueberry hints the description notes. AND…it actually tastes sparkly! Comparable to sparkling water or Champagne – ALMOST.

YEAH. I’m loving this! Maybe…TOO MUCH.

This is complex and special. A wonderous surprise!

EXTREMELY HIGH RATING ON THIS ONE FROM ME!!!!

I could really relate to the experience of drinking a tea like this one that is morphing so quickly like a great massage or glass of exceptional wine that you make noises often reserved for other occasions!
