5.7g, 70 ml gaiwan
Smell is roast and chocolate
1. Taste is watery roast. Aftertaste is a bit astringent, grassy, and floral
2. similar in taste. Something sweet lingers in rear nasal cavity
3. Really astringent
4. Similar watery. Stopped here
Overall not a fan of overly floral teas so DC is already not really my favorite and this one is just not very good. should be able to finally finish the bag soon.

For me, some Dancongs seem to be overly roasted, to the point that it’s basically all you taste. Glad I’m not the only one to feel this way.
@Leafhopper I guess DCs are usually delicate enough that the roast can easily overpower the base? Tea Habitat and DXJD have some nice ones, but for some of those too the roast needs some time to settle. For this one, neither the base tea nor the roast are very good.
You’re right, that’s probably what’s going on. I haven’t had Dancongs from Tea Habitat or DXJD, but have samples of four Dancongs from Hojo burning a hole in my cupboard.
