The vendor is called Wuyi Origin. They sell both Dancong and Wuyi teas made by their families.StoneLadle wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 5:44 amDancong isn't from Wu Yi. In fact it's pretty far away from Wu Yi.

I'll have to get back to you about the others.
How does the oxidation and roast level of each tea compare to 2019? @Hengchan @Tetsubin

I only had the Yashixiang from last year. I bought early in the season this year and late in the 2019 season so there was a slight differens. But I would say they are fairly similar both in roast and oxidation.dyungim wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 12:19 amHengchan wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 5:31 pmDancong order recently arrived and can safely say that the old bush mi lan xiang is awesome!

if you don't have anything helpful to say you don't have to participateStoneLadle wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 10:59 pmSinge 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 all 5kg came from the one bush and is awesome tasting... It wouldn't be selling at this price...
How is that not of interest? It might not answer the question, but it is relevant.dyungim wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 12:11 amif you don't have anything helpful to say you don't have to participateStoneLadle wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 10:59 pmSinge bush according to them yields 5kg of quality tea...
