Incredible, simply incredible. This a sweet type dancong and ultimately so. The leaves do not have a really strong smell when dry, but add some hot water and… OH GOD O_O. The sheer sweetness of the fragrance of this tea alone would’ve made it one of my favourites but it also has a taste to match. And it tastes pretty much what you expect it to be – sweet :) Actually – “tender sweetness” is how I can describe it. Really really really really…. REALLY tasty :)

The only real problem with this tea is that after 4-5 infusions the taste weakens too much (though it is still nice) and from heavenly becomes simply really good. :)
