Songzhong Dancong

Ancient Song is a wulong cha from Shi Gu Ping Village in Guangdong Province. They say the trees trace their lineage back to the Song Dynasty — a history difficult to prove but pleasant to ponder. Unusual for a Fenghuang Dancong, these old-tree leaves temper their floral disposition with a decent dose of cream and candy. 

Dancong Wulong

Study the subtle aromas and delicate flavors of Dancong, the celebrated Wulong (Oolong) tea from Guangdong Province. Unlike other teas, named after their cultivars or physical form, Dancongs are named after their fragrances.

Producers cultivate Dancongs to mimic the aromas of flowers and other botanicals. In addition to this one, Dancong also comes in many, many other scents, such as Yu Lan Xiang, which exudes the delicate fragrance of Magnolia, and Rou Gui Xiang, which releases the robust scent of Cinnamon. You can find our aged Honey Orchid dancong here.
