Brewing: 6g/100ml, 100°C, 10s x 3, +5s.

Warmed-up dry leaves smell of spices, flowers and honey. When wet, the spices intensify and some crazy tropical fruit notes appear.

The liquor tastes of spices and tropical fruit, with a mineral aftertaste. A very rich and exotic profile, dark and violent in its deep vegetal notes, like a rainforest at night.

The violence tones down after ten steeps or so, but you'll never forget having been through the heart of darkness. Quite the experience.

A good Dan Cong for the price.

Floral and woodsy, but for me a tad too strong of a charcoal aroma. The charcoal aroma does fade after the 3rd infusion and the tea becomes more rounded.

Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.

When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.

Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
