I enjoyed this one so much that I purchased an entire cake! This 2005 production is definitely slightly better than the 2006. The price for this tea is fantastic. It's not a particularly special, interesting, or high-quality tea, but it offers tons of pleasant smoke, aged, and fruity flavor that makes it very much worth it.

Order came on time and everything was there. Tried one tea from the sampler and it was great

It's small and convenient for 1 person

Floral is not my favorite taste or aroma, but this one really catches my attention. The astringency is low for a floral which I like. There is a vegetal presence with the floral which I have decided is "jasmine asparagus" which is quite unique. There is a nice finish which I decided is "creamy green" and possibly that asparagus again. After many steeps, the leaves turn to a woody aroma, but the tea tastes the same. I find the layers complex and intriguing and it is a good tea to relax to while contemplating the aroma, taste, finish, and observing the beautiful rolled leaves changing into full beautiful green leaves.

I rarely find Dancong that smells or tastes like the cultivar's name, but I definitely get some sweet potato from this. It is quite fragrant, and unlike a lot of Dancong it leans more herbal/fruity/sweet to me, rather than floral. I get the sweetness of root vegetables without the earthiness. Later steeps bring out a bit of a melon note to me. It's a pretty unique Dancong and I like it quite a bit.
