A brilliant introduction to this wonderful Oolong variety, our Discover Dancong Taster pack features four 10g samples of great Oolongs that show the great range and intensity of this famous tea type: Mi Lan Dan Cong, Yu Lan Dan Cong, Ba Xian and Xing Ren.

Dan Cong (pronounced Dansong) is known as the champagne of Oolong teas. Also known as Shui Xian or Phoenix Honey Orchid, Dan Congs are intensely flavourful tea produced only in a small area around Chao Zhou, Guangdong. The teas are grown from a single-stemmed varietal of tea bush, which produces large, striped leaves that produce a red-gold liquor with wonderfully complex fruity and floral aromas and flavours. Good Dan Congs are hard to find as much of the best quality is bought by Chinese tea lovers. We located some
excellent sources via our full time buying partner and our full range is showcased in this taster pack. Look out for notes of honey and orchids, caramel and magnolia, melon and citrus. These teas reward careful brewing in a small Yixing pot or gaiwan and will produce multiple infusions showing an astonishing range of flavours. A real treat for any tea aficionado.
