10 year aged dancong oolong
•
This is another tea I enjoyed with @hot_leaf_water recently.
•
A heavier roast from 2009. I’m not sure what varietal this one is.
•
Dancong is one of my absolute favorite types of tea. They’re well known for their intoxicating aroma, sweetness and often-fruity taste. Additionally, dancong is famous for the legendary astringency and lasting flavor experienced when brewed to traditional strength.
•
With a heavy roast, I think it’s best to wait 1-2 years before enjoying. But, In my experience 3-5 years is the sweet spot for resting heavy roast dancong.
•
This was by far the oldest dancong I’ve tasted. The tea was sweet and punchy, with a great plummy and orchid aroma. The roast was still surprisingly prominent in the flavor of the first two infusions, but not past that point.
•
Overall this tea lasted for many infusions. I lost count, but definitely 10-12+ steeps in total from 8g leaf.
•
One unique thing I noticed in this tea was an interesting tint to the liquor color - the usual deep orange/gold of heavy roast dancong was influenced by an almost grey/purple color. Not sure I captured it well in these photos, it was most noticeable in my glass gongdaobei.
•
The last time I remember seeing this sort of coloration in the liquor was when drinking some 2016 purple leaf sheng puerh from Nannnuo shan.
Have you ever had a tea with a strange liquor color like that before?
•
Another awesome tasting experience thanks to @liquidproust

We think that the tea which most gives the idea of spring, after flower tea, are #oolong teas. Infact there are oloong teas whose names starts with spring! Coincidence? We don't think it's a coincidence
And you? Which tea (or anything else of course) give you most the idea of spring?
(Don't forget to read our last reviews! Many of them involve oolong tea )

I’ve been in Taiwan a week now and am finally starting to get some work finished ready to be fired. I’ve only done about half of what I would in a normal working week! Today has been my first (nearly) full day of making here. I’ve spent the day decorating small tea bowls like the one you can see here, I’ve just put my first glaze tests in the kiln and I’ve been trimming lids for my tea caddies! You can see the shape of one of those drying out over on my story .

2018 Premium Anxi TGY from @craftedleafteas.
Light, balanced, complex flavour. Soft texture. Lingers in the mouth in a lovely way. I enjoy going back to TieGuanYin, as I drink less of it after getting into young puerh.
