Enjoying my remaining Dancong samples from the MyTeaPal club, as the heyday of direct shipped cheap goods from China winds down. Gong Xiang Dancong, a lighter roast processed tea.

Dancong Oolong are often called after a fragrances they evoke, sometimes these fragrances are familiar to Western audiences, sometimes they are not. This Po Tou Xiang Dancong from MyTeaPal is one of the "not". Supposedly evocative of the flowers of Chinese Violet (Telosma cordata), I've got no frame of reference for the scent. It is a very nice!

Still wandering through my teaware looking for the best way to brew Dancong Oolong consistently. This is a nice Honey Orchid Dancong from MyTeaPal Club. Maybe brewing Dancong consistently isn't in my skill set?

Sunday is a "day", so perfectly acceptable to drink "daily milan" (a not too fancy Milan Xiang Dancong oolong from White2Tea).
Gold Magnolia Dancong from White2Tea is a Lighter roast, lighter oxidation oolong. Varietal is "jin yu lan". I should maybe have drunk it sooner, it is a little shy about its flavor.

Honeyed Pomelo Dancong from White2Tea. Good, but not my favorite Dancong. I like the smell when brewing but there is something in the flavor balance that is not quite there for me.
Honeyed Pomelo Dancong Oolong is pretty weird to drink. It does in fact pretty closely mimic the flavors/scents of citrus flowers and wildflower honey. Who can complain about that?

Honeyed Pomelo Dancong (mi you xiang) is not as pure citrus flower-ey in flavor/scent as the Pomelo Dancong, a bit malty-sweet.
Pomelo Flower Dancong smells so much like citrus flowers, it really is kind of amazing none were injured making it.
