Dancong Gardenia - Oolong

Dancong is one of the most special and peculiar Oolong teas. Its unique character lies in the cultivar. The tea is produced using the leaves of a single bush - hence the name "Single bush" - which after 40 years begins to develop its unique characteristic flavour. 

The tea contains delicate ivory-white flowers that unfold as the tea steeps. It has a fascinating and intense scent of Gardenia with a hint of honey and a beautiful golden colour.
