Description
Strong-Aroma Dancong is a classic style of Fenghuang Dancong Oolong that undergoes a higher degree of roasting, developed to showcase its deep, mature, and potent character. We select leaves from old bush Shui Xian cultivar tea trees (over 50 years old) and adhere to century-old craftsmanship, emphasizing “making tea based on the leaf’s condition” and a slow, gentle “stewing” over charcoal fire.
This prolonged charcoal roasting not only removes any astringent moisture but also develops complex roasted notes, caramel-like sweetness, and locks in the tea’s essential compounds. The dry leaves are dark, oily, and tightly knotted. Upon brewing, the aroma is penetrating and complex, often revealing notes of honey-orchid, almond, roasted nuts, and even hints of coffee.
The liquor is exceptionally full-bodied and weighty on the palate, initially presenting a gentle roasted warmth that quickly transforms into a surprising sweetness and prompts salivation. Its signature “Shan Yun” (mountain rhythm) – a cooling mineral sensation and profound sweetness felt deep in the throat – is particularly pronounced. It is highly resistant to brewing, retaining flavor and aroma well beyond ten infusions. For connoisseurs, this is a Gongfu tea offering an ultimate sensory impact and profound satisfaction.
