From Verdant Tea

Huang Ruiguang’s family Jin Lan Xiang comes from the extremely sought after high-elevation Wudongshan older tree stock picked from his favorite plot with a cool microclimate & east-facing slope for early morning light.

Another dan Cong that probably sat too long in my cupboard. This one was earthy like crushed autumn leaves and very mineral. I got notes of spice, incense, and wood. Didn’t taste any of the floral or apricot notes described by Verdant. Quit after a few steeps because I couldn’t convince myself to continue drinking any more of it. Good thing it was just a sample so no big loss here.
