Xin Ren Xiang is an essential for the Dan Cong wulong enthusiast and a tea that also offers plenty to intrigue any wulong lover looking to expand their palate. Almond Blossom’s pale golden-orange liquor holds a lot of power and aroma, evident from the very first sip.
Underneath a wave of blooming jasmine and lily, Almond Blossom first hits with a bitterness that quickly dissipates into a nutty marzipan-like sweetness with the lingering finish and mouthfeel of a sip of a sweet liquor like Italian amaretto.
Xing Ren Xiang exemplifies the intricate multi-sensory experience that gongfu cha and Chaozhou tea culture has sprung up centered around.
Roasting Dan Cong Wulong Traditionally
The final flavor-developing roast for this tea is done the traditional way for Dan Cong wulong: slow-roasting over smokeless lychee-root charcoal. The ash from this local charcoal is a dark sooty grey-black, rather than white like the bamboo charcoal used to roast Wuyi rock wulong. This delicate touch of charcoal roasting accents the innate fragrance of the tea leaves.
