Like most Dan Cong wulong teas, Fanshu Xiang (Sweet Potato) is named for the distinct fragrance that the leaves of this particular variety of tea bush naturally produces. The scrumptious aroma at first has a tangy bite followed by a starchy sweetness, much like the skin and flesh of its namesake tuber. In Guangdong, it’s common to cook the local sweet potatoes by burying them in the ash of a fire for a long, slow-roasted treat.
