A heavier roast of our Royal Peach Orchid. The light peach fruitiness and sweet honey of the original transforms to a more luscious dried apricot and thick treacle taste.
Known as a doppelganger tea for its ability to imitate surrounding plants, Dan Cong teas are a wonder and if you haven’t tried one then you simply have to pick some up.
This is one of China’s oldest and most famous teas and was first cultivated about 1000 years ago. It is made from middle aged trees and charcoal roasted for a richer flavour. The result are long, curled, dark amber leaves which brew the most delicious tea.

The dry leaf had me thinking of butter biscuits, which was a lovely start. As the wet leaves unfurled, I caught hints of tobacco and pears, with the gaiwan lid giving off this rich dark chocolate aroma.
The liquor steeped into a beautiful golden yellow, and at 205°F for 25 seconds, the first steep had this intriguing tartness, almost like a fruity wine. But the real magic was in the flavor sweet, like peaches and cream, with a dry mouthfeel that lingered on the back of my tongue. The honey milk aftertaste was just addicting.
Fast forward to the 5th steep (brewed for 1 minute), and the wet leaves had a fleeting ash smell that quickly faded. The taste was lighter, but still carried that delightful sweetness. This tea really knows how to keep things interesting with every brew!
Flavors: Biscuit, Butter, Dark Chocolate, Pear, Sweet
