About Gardenia Dancong Oolong Tea

This blend begins with Da Wu Ye Dancong from Guangdong, chosen for its rounded body and floral character. Qi Lan and Ba Xian oolongs from Fujian add aromatic depth, creating a tea base with both richness and lift.

The blended leaves are scented with fresh gardenia flowers, allowing them to take on the blossoms’ fragrance. The result brings together two expressions of floral aroma: the character of the oolong leaves themselves and the distinctive perfume of gardenia.

An elegant floral opening leads into a smooth, full-flavored cup. A gentle touch of bitterness adds definition before giving way to returning sweetness, known as huigan, and a lingering floral finish.

Enjoy it on its own to explore its changing layers, or alongside a light pastry for an aromatic afternoon pause. Each tin contains 60 g of loose leaf tea.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: Fresh gardenia blossoms layered over delicate oolong florals.
Taste: Smooth and rounded, with a lively, gently bitter edge that unfolds into sweetness.
Finish: Lingering floral fragrance with a clean, refreshing sweet aftertaste.

ORIGIN

Guangdong & Fujian, China

Gardenia Dancong brings together oolongs from two distinctive tea regions in southern China.

Guangdong is home to the Dancong tradition, celebrated for its expressive aromas and layered flavors. Our Da Wu Ye Dancong forms the foundation of this blend, bringing body and floral character.

From neighboring Fujian, Qi Lan and Ba Xian oolongs add fragrance and dimension. Together, the three teas create a rounded base for fresh gardenia scenting—a final step that brings the blossoms’ aroma into harmony with the leaves.

The gardenia has something of an artificial ringto it. I bought the tea because because it did not list any artificial ingredients so I was a bit disappointed.
