Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking
I have been on the search for a good Anxi oolong source that sells something besides TGY. I was originally looking at Verdant Teas, but for some reason I have never been drawn to their teas for some reason. I finally remembered that So Han, down the street from me in Austin, TX, sources Anxi oolong...

Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking
Can anyone here recommend oolongs (ideally dancong but not necessarily) that are similar to Wuyi Origin's Old Bush Mi Lan Xiang from Li Zhai Ping village? I'm not a fan of greener oolongs and it seems to be increasingly more difficult to find ones that are not too green in this style. I liked the 2...

Re: 2020 from Wuyi Origin? especially dancong
Dancong order recently arrived and can safely say that the old bush mi lan xiang is awesome! Superb in both aroma and flavour potency with durable infusions. Not at all a finicky tea; seems forgiving to a variety of water temps and infusion times. I'll have to get back to you about the others. Can ...

Re: 2020 from Wuyi Origin? especially dancong
Singe bush according to them yields 5kg of quality tea... So, if one bought 5kg, you'd bought the entire production for 2020... And it's only USD1850 for the whole 5kg... So... How many kg do they have of this tea and from how many trees? The site notes are inconclusive... If... I could verify that...

Re: Musings on Dancong…
dyungim, no, I've not tried the Hojo teas. Are there some you recommend? Unfortunately I cannot personally recommend any in particular, I just thought the nong xiang type ones might fit your bill if you liked Cindy's fan shu xiang. The processing is probably not the same but they both share extende...

Re: Musings on Dancong…
I've really enjoyed Wuyi Origin's dancongs. Last night I tried the Fan Shu Xiang, sweet potato fragrance. It was quite a bit more roasted and savory than other dancongs I've tried. There was definitely a sweet yammy quality to it, which I'm sure is where the name came from :) Interesting, I am drin...

I have ordered other stuff from here before and its been very hit or miss. http://white2tea.com/?s=dancong&post_type=product I can't speak to those Dan congs specifically but I enjoyed the traditio...
