A sunny, sparkling Dancong with strong citrus and apricot jam flavors…
This Dancong offers a full and engaging tasting experience. In early steepings, a crisp mineral or stone quality dominates the texture with a rosewood quality on the sides of the palate. Soon, a mouth-watering juicy note of apricot makes an entrance and continues to build up a thicker body for the tea.
Later, the apricot becomes more of a whipped lime meringue flavor, and the crisp texture becomes sparkly and almost spicy like cinnamon. The citrus mixes with the darker woody quality to evoke blueberry.
In late steepings, the texture becomes more silky like Yunnan budset teas, and the juiciness becomes buttery like autumn harvest tieguanyin. All together, this makes for a thrilling tasting experience.
