Description

Description:
Dan Cong is grown on Mt Phoenix, named after the bird of luck, on the shores of the South China Sea. Sometimes referred to as bird beak tea, this complex drop has earthy overtures, with whispers of vanilla and honey, and a floral aftertaste that takes flight and soars across your tastebuds. A little birdy told us that there’s a good fortune in every sip!

Brew:
1 teaspoon per 200mls. Brew in water for 3 – 6 minutes at 80 degrees Celsius.

Serve:
Hot.
