Huang Ruiguang’s family Jin Lan Xiang comes from the extremely sought after high-elevation Wudongshan older tree stock picked from his favorite plot with a cool microclimate & east-facing slope for early morning light. Jin Lan (金兰) roughly translates to sworn brotherhood, and indeed, this tea takes the dedication of a “sworn brotherhood” to finish, requiring over 24 hours of meticulous and exhausting hand processing to bring out the deep aromatics of this striking and rare varietal. Each sip is almost like drinking candy. Master Huang’s fifty years of celebrated work in agricultural innovation has changed the world of Dancong for the better.

Ugggghhhh this is the first bad tea I’ve had from Verdant. I figured if I sampled enough of their teas, I’d find one eventually. This is just very watery from the start with minimal flavor. Not even worth going past the 4th infusion. Jin Lan translates to “sworn brotherhood.” I swear that I will never drink this tea again.

Another dan Cong that probably sat too long in my cupboard. This one was earthy like crushed autumn leaves and very mineral. I got notes of spice, incense, and wood. Didn’t taste any of the floral or apricot notes described by Verdant. Quit after a few steeps because I couldn’t convince myself to continue drinking any more of it. Good thing it was just a sample so no big loss here.
