This tea is oolong tea
Grown exclusively in Phoenix Village, Wudong Mountain (Guangdong, China), Da Wu Ye is a medium-leaf hybrid between “Ya Shi Xiang” (Duck Shit Aroma) and “Shui Xian” varietals. This particular winter harvest, often called “Snowflake Dan Cong”, is known for its extremely low yield and incredible aroma complexity.
Undergoes 30+ hours of traditional hand-processing, with light-to-medium roasting to preserve the tea’s floral oils while adding depth and creaminess.

Sandalwood incense
Vanilla & pear
Buttery shortbread
All wrapped in a golden liquor with a sweet, long-lasting finish.

Q1: Is this tea artificially flavored?
No. All aromas and sweetness come from natural processing—there are no additives or flavors used.
Q2: Why does the flavor change each steep?
Dan Cong teas are famous for their “变香” property—each brew releases different aromatic compounds. It’s a signature feature, not a flaw.
Q3: Can I brew this tea in a French press or mug?
Yes! Use the Western method. Start with 5g of tea, steep for 20–30 seconds, and enjoy multiple brews.
Q4: Is it caffeinated?
Yes. As an oolong, it has moderate caffeine—enough for gentle focus, perfect for afternoon or creative sessions.
