Description
The term “punches above its weight” gets thrown around a lot these days, but even at the upper end of this year’s standard level dancongs, this Huangzhixiang does just that.
A dynamic varietal by nature, this tea embodies both a floral fragrance and fruity sweetness. The early steeps highlight this fruitiness, while a buttery-lavender quality develops in later steeps.
While this tea is highly enjoyable in terms of fragrance and flavour, the texture is also excellent. Smooth and silky, this tea produces a full feeling in the mouth that is uncommon for its price range.
Please note that the 250g size does not include a tin.
$0.43-0.53/gram
Varietal: Huangzhixiang/黄枝香/Yellow Gardenia Fragrance

A refreshing effect that contrasts with the body’s heat production. A very enjoyable liquor.
// Smell: Intense lemon and mango sorbet aroma, dried outdoor flowers in autumn, lemon meringue, tropical fruit punch, pineapple cake, floral, steamed vegetables
// Texture: Smooth and silky on the tongue, medium body that gradually evaporates
// Taste: Pineapple sharpness, floral cream, wet rock, buttery lavender, mango sorbet
// Body sensation: Dry on the palate yet creamy elsewhere, vanished saliva, quickened heartbeat, noticeable heat, silence, introspection, zen calm

5g/100ml gaiwan. Boiling water, Flash wash, 30sec, 15sec, 20sec, +10 for 3 additional steeps.
Really enjoying the floral character on this one. Better than other gardenia fragrance I’ve tried in the past. Smooth on the palate, a bit of drying. A bit of tropical fruit comes through (pineapple/passion fruit). Lavender in particular on the floral side. An excellent Dancong for the price. Only had a sample and plan to buy a tin now.

For the 2025 Dancongs, although I recognize that by some metrics the “top shelf” selection is superior to the “standard” teas, I actually found this one (along with Easy Breezy) to be the most enjoyable in the set. Lovely floral tea, very easy to brew, easy to drink, compatible both with focused sessions and multitasking.
