Dan Congs - Your Favourite Oolong? From Where and Why?
Okay. I've gone full-tilt-bozo for Dan Congs lately, especially Feng
Huang Dan Cong from Teaspring. I'm wondering what everyone else likes or dislikes about the Dan Congs and from where and what flavour prominence you prefer - vendor, Taiwan, Fujian??? Peachy? Orchidy? Toasty? Shen

Dan Congs - Your Favourite Oolong? From Where and Why?
i only had 2 DC from ZGC and i like them very much,
one is "Mi Lan Xiang" flavors ~ flowery-melon?-citrusy, very nice and crisp, this one makes me smile every time other is "Yu Lan Xiang Cha" ~ similar, but maybe more towards lemon? not roasted or toasted they last for many infusions, even if not careful and over-infused i still like it with all its "astringency" dislike that the mi lan xiang costs a bit much for me

Shen Shui Xian, hands down. I always liked it but until I tried a few unique ones I was never so hooked. Highly roasted, better still double roasted and fresh. It is a bit peachy with hints of charcoal/raisin and I absolutely love it. Dan Cong I can take or leave. The peachy-er ones I like more the orchidy ones not so much. I don't like the green oolongs and flowery ones and I have come to totally despise Oriental beauty. Any more I rarely stray from a good Shui Xian, and I don't see that changing any time soon. I do like the Feng Huang though and if I do venture out past the Shui Xian it's to that. - Dominic

Both were fairly rich and floral, as well as extremely soothing. The 07 Honey Orchid is affordable and excellent. Cheers, Dave

Shen I can only do dancongs in small doses, and usually only of the heavily roasted variety. They're fragrant.... but after a while, I just can't stomach the fragrance. I much prefer a deeper and sweeter Wuyi than the rather one-dimensional dancong.... MarshalN http://www.xanga.com/MarshalN
