yi ji hong dan cong (first class dark dan cong) 2010

Black Oolong Blend by teaway

The fragrance typical of Dan Cong united the character of Red Tea. It can produce very different results depending on the infusion time, a few seconds for a refreshing and fragrant liquor, going up to two minutes instead you get a richer flavor and fruity characteristic of oolong high degree of oxidation. Proposed in the highest degree available in the market, prized in the markets of Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.

something in the middle of
dan cong and red chinese tea
very fruity for a red chinese tea and very strong for a dan cong.
but i love this mix
i come back at home from a the first bbq of the season …. and i had eat and drunk too much.
wen i was at home i think that i really need something strong ( i mean strong in flavour and caffeine) and i brewed this sample of tasting kit dan cong.
i brewed in my little gaiwan about 4 grams of it ( in the stepping instruction say 25 grams per litre)

1 step delicious sweet fruity and a little malty the liquor is a nice red ruby
i steeped for 20 second.

2 step for 30 second the same

adding a 10 second to every step i had 9 step of this tea and this tea don’t lose any flavour

now it os one of my favorite and i want to place an order of this
if you love black chinese tea and dan cong this is the tea you don’t wanna miss give it a try!
