Tough-brewing buggers. They’re tight, so require some coaxing… too much coaxing and they get bitter. I got a handful of “good” steeps, but didn’t feel there was a lot of payoff. There are hints of my favorite notes — charcoal, florals, wood — which present themselves so much more fully and easily and beautifully in other teas. I know Dancong is finicky, though, so I’ll update if I have any more success with the rest of the coins.
Flavors: Charcoal, Floral, Wood
