Wow, that was hard – I literally had to not come here for a few months due to money constraints. So there has been a lot of sipdowns going on in the household. Then I caved and had to make some orders as I ran out of some staples!
Thought I would try this on a whim – I don’t seem to have much luck with rou gui or cinnamon-type oolongs, the ones I have tried seem a bit too easily dissipated, losing flavour rapidly, and I thought this one sounded similar.
But this one is really good, with nice longevity, the ginger aroma lasting even as the tea soup gets thinner.. I think I was up to ten flash steep style and it was still giving. Its an interesting flavour that i have no idea how its imparted – doesn’t taste fake but also doesn’t quite taste real, but works with the rest of the tea, it isnt too sweet or too much of anything bad, really. But kind of dessert-esque. Nice bitterness lingering in the back.
A hard one to place but happy with it & glad to have found a dan cong like this that gives out as much as it should for the price.

Welcome back!
Great to see you back, Rasseru!
I feel ya on the price. I am worried I won’t be able to afford much tea this year, but then I discovered Wuyiorigin. The owner is a Wuyi local and her husband is from Chaozhou so both have access to the real stuff (yancha and dancong) and sell at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend checking them out. Contact Cindy directly to get the info you need. She’s a accommodating.
Thanks peeps – (steeps?Steeple?)
tanluwils – I had heard of wuyiorigin but now signed up to the newsletter.
Good pricing too if the quality is high! I’ll hunt for some reviews and try some out
Yes! I’ve had a good number of their teas and can say I need not look any further.
Also meant to add: check out reviews from BigDaddy. He helped me along with getting a better grasp on yancha and dancongs in general.
