Packing: 200g/canThe latest spring Feng Huang Dan Cong is coming. Made fully by hand, deeply fired. Strong orchid aroma, bitter in mouth, sweet, lingering after taste .
This tea can endure repeatedly steeped over 30 times.
The loose leaves are in dark , shiny brow color. Red edge, gold vein.
Once brewed, the leaves are back to life-thick, soft in shiny green color.
The liquor is in orange color. Strong baked aroma with hint of honey.
Having tasted another Dan Cong tea in the past, I set myself up to taste something similar to that: smoky, strong, bitter. This tea absolutely blew me away.
The first taste is slightly bitter, but then the end and aftertaste are sweet and floral. There’s a lovely lingering orchid flavor that I did not expect.
This tea also stands up to multiple steepings. I’ve done 4 and it’s still fairly strong.
Overall I would highly recommend this tea and it’s reasonably priced as well!
