"Guihua xiang dancun"
Name: "Guihua xiang dancun"
Translation: "Single bushes of 'osmanthus flowers'"
Whale. 桂花香单丛, pinyin guìhuā xiāng dāncōng
Characteristics of the variety: it is a subspecies of the oolong tea “ Feng Huang Dan Cun ” (Russian: “Single bushes from Phoenix Mountain”, Chinese: 凤凰单丛, pinyin: fènghuáng dāncōng).
Origin: Guangdong Province (Chinese: 广东, pinyin guǎng dōng).
The bud and the first three leaves are collected in early and mid-April.
The mother tree grows on Mount Wudong in the Fengxiermao area (Chinese: 凤溪二茅) and belongs to Li Jipeng. Subsequent generations are clustered bushes. The tree has large leaves, stands 2.94 meters tall, with a semi-open crown 2.3 meters wide, and medium-ripening buds. The second generation has a unique floral fragrance. The variety's name derives from its resemblance to osmanthus flowers. The leaves are soft, oval, light green, and glossy. One hundred buds weigh 115 grams, and the buds are vigorous. The plants are propagated by cuttings. Each tree is over 300 years old.
The finished tea is straight-rolled and the color of eel scales. It has a natural floral aroma. The infusion is golden-yellow, clear, with a rich osmanthus scent. The flavor is rich and slightly sweet, with a distinctive dancong note. The tea bottom is green and soft.
In 1986, it scored 99.85 points overall at a product competition, emerging as the best among 134 tea samples and earning the title of National Treasure. It won a gold medal at the Second China Agricultural Fair. In 1999, it was recognized as a famous tea of Guangdong at an international exhibition.
This tea is sometimes written as Gui Hua Xiang Dan Cun.

When dry, you can feel the melodic aroma with wine notes; it is multifaceted, containing chocolate-covered cherries, Baikal black currants, osmanthus flowers, and cranberry syrup.
After washing, the tea reveals a bright yet complex aroma with notes of lavender flowers, lily of the valley and tropical fruits.
This dan cong has an unusually subtle, aristocratic flavor, with a delicate floral profile, fruity sweetness, and a slight citrus freshness. The tea retains its flavor profile well during infusion; as the infusions increase, a powerful flavor ensemble emerges, with a slight bitterness and citrus notes.
This oolong tea can be steeped up to 6 times. To prepare the infusion, you will need 4-7 g of tea per 150-200 ml of Yixing clay teapot or gaiwan.
The aftertaste is sweetish, with fruity and floral nuances, juicy and long-lasting.
Fenghuang Dancong Guihua Xiang is a tea with strong tea qi. While drinking, you feel a warming sensation throughout your body, energy flows, and a light meditative state ensues. The tea is a great tonic, invigorating, and confidence-boosting tea, perfect for socializing.
