(10 reviews)
Dancong oolongs are a rare variety from Phoenix Mountain in Guangdong province, China. Our Dancong Aria (Mi Lan Xiang) exudes a perfumy aroma of orchids and almonds. Smooth and refined texture with flavors of fresh apricot, peach pit and honey. Incredibly long finish. Dancong Aria is a tea to take your time with - for maximum sweetness use lower water temperature than for most oolongs and be careful not to over-steep it, because for a tea that's got 'flowers' going on for days, this is no shrinking violet. A rich, grounding cup, perfect to enjoy in multiple infusions. Steep at 195°F for 3-5 minutes

Un oolong de alto nivel de tostado cuyas notas tostadas a nuez dan complejidad a la taza dando notas terrosas y minerales

2 min @ 165. I didn't get any of the tasting notes. Smooth with the mildest astringency. I actually got a hint of smoke on some sips and in the aftertaste. Not off-putting, just not a tea for me.

Lots of flavors to the cup this tea makes. It also has a very nice floral aroma. Great oolong.

I love this tea! The flavor for me is a mix of mineral and malt with a sweetness like almond and caramel. And it gets more complex and sweeter with resteeps. Awesome tea!

A truly wonderful relaxing cup of tea. This was given to me as a free sample with my last order, but I will definitely be ordering more when this is gone. Truly smooth.

This was a lovely and relaxing oolong, but I didn't really get the floral notes. It was a nice smooth tea though that was great for afternoon.

I personally found it a bit boring and bland. I didn't experience any of the tasting notes provided on the adagio page.
