It is the most well-known Dancong style, which offers a delightful liquor with distinctive floral and intense fruity notes. The tea leaves were then medium roasted until the honey-like aroma and flavor is brought forth. The resulting tea is sweet, with a remarkably aromatic profile of lychee fruit and wildflower honey.

“Dancong”, refers to an individual tea plant (single bush) cultivated from a variety of Shui Xian cultivars. As the sub-varietals of Shui Xian cultivars grown in the region have very different characteristics in terms of leaf and tree shape, teas made from different individual shrubs happened to develop very distinctive aromas and flavour profiles from one to the other, which explains why the oolong teas produced in the region are called as “Dancong Oolong”.
