Dancong’s live for their aromas and strong bouquets and those are indicators for good quality when it comes to this type of oolongs.
Already those dry leaves within the warmed up teapot exhale such a thick and deliciously mouth watering atmosphere of almond and hazelnuts with something fruity crisp. This mouth watering effect gets really
crazy after those fine rolled little wonders got soaked with steaming hot water. This mist fills within an instant the whole space around you with such juiciness of now more in the back almonds but majorly tropical fruit baskets starting with mango and pineapple switching to another country for cherry blossoms and pickled cherries! The bouquet of the actual liquor develops such a lovely buttery biscuit touch with a nice additive of lavender and a hint of bourbon vanilla to it!
The texture is a dream of silky creaminess nearly buttery with such a masterly well composed subtle nutty bitter layer as the starting point followed by a major impact of fruitiness like nearly everything you can imagine! Like a multivitamin juice. There are red sweet apples, pears, pineapples, lychee, mango, passion fruit, cherries and cherry blossoms followed by a hint of kiwi and an even more tinier echo of clementines and blood orange but there is also a fragment of grapes to be found red and green ones but also its dried compound counterpart of raisins! Forget about buying a whole basket of fruits the only thing you need is just this one amazing tea and you got it all :D!
The echo nearly never fades and stays persistent within your whole mouth region for a very VERY long time! Within this very echo this whole fruity aspects transforms even into something new – something buttery sweet ~ like butter biscuits! The later infusions also tend to transform into the more bakery direction like the actual scent of the liquor already directed to: Lavender butter biscuits with a hint of bourbon Vanilla plus a fair amount of lychees and the nutty perfectly balanced main base of bitter notes! – Damn that’s good!!!
