I wish I’d read the directions and recommendations a little better before I started to realize I would be drinking this tea all day. I probably would have done this at home where I have a smaller mug.

But I’m still loving every minute.

Each infusion has been different and delicious. I agree with the description. I think the fourth so far has been my favorite, although I really liked the third as well, and the fifth that I’m enjoying right now is also very nice. (Not to say that one and two weren’t good as well because they were.)

I wish I’d thought to keep notes as I was drinking this. I was surprised at how almost (but not quite) orange it was to start, and the floral notes I found, and the kind of honey it had, before it finished tangy metallic-ish.

I’m really enjoying it.

I wish I’d taken notes.

I’m at work and doing so many things today that this tea has kept me company all day, through so many different things, as each huge mug has enveloped and comforted me.

Looking at the dry leaves before I started, I wasn’t expecting this to be as light as it is, but it’s pretty light.

I’ve been following the brewing directions as I found them on the website for each different infusion. I’m on 5 right now, and I think I’m going to save the leaves to have a couple more tomorrow.

Brenden, I’m sorry I didn’t do this tea justice with my tasting note. It’s really spectacular.

I LOVE this dancong! :) It’s definitely a morpher, though :)

Cheri

It absolutely is a morpher. Absolutely loving it through each different infusion, enjoying hour it changes with each.

It took me a really long time to figure out how to brew dancong oolongs. I spent about a year working on the best technique for worry-free brewing. I really didn’t enjoy them until I figured that out :)

Cheri

I’m glad you did. I followed your directions and this turned out perfectly. :)

Oh I’m glad I read this comment, a year is a long time, I’ll be a good girl then and follow your parameters :-)

Whispering Pines Tea Company

Haha yep, I went through ~4lbs of this stuff over the past year figuring it out :P

Bio

Still relatively new to drinking teas, or so I feel, even though I’ve been at it for several months now.

I’m drinking more and more of different varieties of tea.

It’s been a few months that I’ve been on here. I’ve expanded from greens and flavored teas to now I’m all about the oolongs and some unflavored blacks. I’m mostly drinking unflavored teas now, but there are a few of those flavored ones that have a special place in my heart.

Pu-erh is also something I’ve recently found that I enjoy.

I have four kitties and a spouse.
