Xing Ren Xiang Dan Cong Oolong tea, also known as Almond Aroma Dan Cong Tea, is a type of oolong tea that is grown in the Phoenix Mountain area of Guangdong, China.
Our Xing Ren Xiang is a special kind of Dan Cong tea, consisting of curly, brown coloured dry leaves. You won't find its unique almond fragrance in any other kind of tea.
This tea is known for its nutty, sweet, and floral flavor, with a distinct almond note. It has a smooth and mellow taste with a long-lasting aftertaste. The tea is considered one of the top grades of Dan Cong oolong teas, and its quality is determined by the number of leaves and buds in each infusion and the strength and complexity of its flavor.

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.
