CSTW-4
This Chinese dark Wulong grown in the Phoenix Mountains (Feng Huang) presents a great example of balanced charcoal roasting: light chestnut aromas with a side of ripe fruits and a lingering flowery breath in the finish.
Made from 35 year old tea plants, it shows surprising depth in profile. Keep some aside for further discoveries. Its aromas wonderfully evolve with time.

Bai Rui Xiang
A worthy representative of the rock wulongs, this wulong with delicately rolled leaves was only slightly roasted, preserving its flavourful vegetal (courgette) and floral fineness. Its full and tangy (tangerine) liquor, deploys rich tropical (durian) and honeyed aromas.
Mi Lan Xiang Feng Xi
This dark wulong from the Phoenix Mountains (Feng Huang) is a true classic in modern Dan Cong style.
Mi Lan Xiang Feng Xi (Tea Box)
This one is called "scent of honeyed orchid", and the infusion of its long twisted leaves deploys rich aromas of flowers and exotic fruits (litchi).
