2020 from Wuyi Origin? especially dancong

[dyungim]

Anyone got theirs in yet? How does it compare to previous years?

[Hengchan]

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.

Dancong isn't from Wu Yi. In fact it's pretty far away from Wu Yi.

I have their Yashixiang, Mi lan Xiang and Baxian. I am not sure if she has them on her site (it is her competition graded ones). But I would say that they are so good that I am not looking anywhere else for dancong.

The vendor is called Wuyi Origin. They sell both Dancong and Wuyi teas made by their families.

Yes but the original statement still holds true...

I don't know if the Dan Cong I got as a sample was 2019 or 2020. I think it was Ba Xian, but am not sure because I forgot to name it in my post about it, and am not at work where the label is.

But: it was excellent.

How does the oxidation and roast level of each tea compare to 2019? @Hengchan @Tetsubin

I think you misread the subject

Think I didn't make it clear I just found it strange is all...

The tea game is quirky like this in the sense that juxtaposition and irony seem to go hand in hand

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.

Okay thanks!

Is your ya shi xiang the single bush or the non-single bush?

Would you mind sharing how the roast and oxidation level of the 3 you bought compare to each other? I am only familiar with the 2019 ya shi xiang (not single bush).

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 all 5kg came from the one bush and is awesome tasting... It wouldn't be selling at this price...

if you don't have anything helpful to say you don't have to participate

How is that not of interest? It might not answer the question, but it is relevant.

[StoneLadle]

it's math...

1000g (that's 1kg) of plucked leaves would yield around 250g of processed tea...

5kg, that's 5000g, from a single tree would require 20kg of leaves...

that would harm the tree big time I'd say... also says my buddy who runs a tea plantation up over yonder in Cameron highlands, ok, not oolong, but they do have some old bushes up there...
