Dan Cong, or "single tea shrub", is found on Phoenix mountain, Guangdong province. This tea stands out for its large brown twisted leaves, and is made from the Ya Shi Xiang cultivar, whose name means "duck excrement fragrance".
A delicious, sweet and subtly sour Dan Cong , which reveals mango, fragrant flower and candied citrus notes.
In order to bring out all the aromatic complexity of this tea, we recommend multiple infusions using the traditional chinese Gong Fu Cha method.
