Delicate and gentle, with a faint sweetness that lingers, it carries a serene beauty, like a wisp of light cloud drifting through the air, never dispersing.

Known locally as “Jiang Mu Xiang,” or “Mother Jiang Fragrance,” it is now more widely marketed under the name “Tong Tian Xiang” (Heavenly Aroma). This tea, often harvested from old tea trees, delivers a brisk, floral elegance upon entrance—soft yet full of energy, with a robust tea essence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular Jiang Mu Xiang Dancong comes from Zhongping Village, home to the mother trees of this rare cultivar. The fresh leaves are carefully hand-rolled into slender, tight strips and roasted to perfection over a charcoal fire. The resulting dry tea is glossy and compact, predominantly black with faint reddish hues near the stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen brewed, the first sip unveils the distinctive roasted character—aromatic but never aggressive, robust yet devoid of bitterness, holding a quiet strength beneath the surface. Soon, a subtle sweetness begins to emerge—a “charcoal-roasted sweetness” unique to teas that have been allowed to rest after their fire treatment. This sweetness is not the straightforward floral or fruity kind, nor the cloying richness of honey. Instead, it is layered and complex, interwoven with the warm notes of charcoal, deep and mellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea soup is thick and velvety, its texture rich and satisfying. The sweetness clings to the base of the tongue, unfurling gently with every breath. Even minutes after the cup is empty, the sweetness lingers, pooling softly at the root of the tongue. The aftertaste is a symphony of returning sweetness and salivating freshness—a quiet yet undeniable presence that reminds you it’s still there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJiang Mu Xiang’s most captivating trait is a faint spiciness—like a playful flick at the tongue—that appears in the early brews. This spiciness isn’t fiery or harsh but subtle and alive, a fleeting sensation that adds dimension to the tea’s character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aroma mirrors the taste: grounded and steady, never overpowering. The charcoal’s influence is evident but skillfully balanced, blending seamlessly with the thick floral sweetness. The fragrance doesn’t just float—it seeps into the tea soup, creating a tactile quality, a “sticky” richness that feels almost tangible. This is the mark of a truly masterful tea: the fragrance doesn’t merely accompany the tea but becomes an inseparable part of its body, sinking deep into the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach sip of Jiang Mu Xiang offers not just a taste but a dialogue—a quiet conversation with the leaves, the fire, and the passing of time.

In 1958, the village's old production team introduced a batch of seedling saplings from Li Zai Ping in Wudong for cultivation. During careful nurturing by Lin Miansheng and others, they noticed that one particular tea tree had leaves that were significantly darker green and larger than the others, standing out in remarkable contrast. Recognizing the potential of this tea tree as a superior variety, they decided to harvest and process it separately, giving rise to what later became known as \"Da Wu Ye.\" The name \"Da Wu Ye\" comes from the deep green color of its leaves (locally referred to as \"Wu\") and the larger leaf size, characteristics that define its unique appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDa Wu Ye is a high-aroma type of dancong, known for its natural and sweet pomelo flower fragrance. The leaves of this batch of high mountain lao cong Da Wu Ye are finer and more tightly curled. After brewing, the liquor has a pale yellow, bright greenish hue in the cup. The fragrance is delightful, with a pomelo flower aroma combined with a fresh, sweet peach-like scent that is vibrant and high-spirited, reminiscent of the natural air of mountain herbs and stones, giving a refreshing, invigorating sensation. As you sniff the lid fragrance, it is initially creamy to the nose, followed by a rich, lingering orchid aroma that is deep and floral. On the palate, the tea is smooth and light, yet crisp and mellow, like a gentle breeze that opens up the throat, as refreshing as autumn clouds floating high above.

According to the story behind its name, the mother tree of Lei Kou Chai once stood at a place called Wu Dong Li Zai Ping Da Shan Jiao, and it was struck by a lightning bolt. Remarkably, the tree did not die immediately, but slowly withered away. Before it completely died, local tea farmers used asexual propagation to clone the tree, which gave rise to the Lei Kou Chai variety. The name \"Lei Kou Chai\" has specific meanings: \"Lei\" refers to the thunderbolt (天雷), \"Kou\" means \"strike\" in the Chaozhou dialect, and \"Chai\" refers to the dead wood that is left after the tree has withered. Because of this, Lei Kou Chai is also known by another name, \u003cem\u003ePi Ding Xiang\u003c\/em\u003e (霹顶香), which translates to \"Thunder Top Aroma,\" referring to the lightning strike and the strong, distinctive fragrance of the tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rare and stunning Lao Cong Lei Kou Chai captivates the senses from the first moment. Its fragrance is pure, dominated by a delicate, almost creamy floral aroma that immediately evokes a sense of indulgence. As the tea unfolds, the floral notes intensify, with the second brew revealing a smoother, more refined liquor that leaves a refreshing sensation on the palate. The tea is full-bodied and round, with a mild sweetness that perfectly complements its structure.\u003cbr\u003eEqually impressive is the tea’s complex bouquet of aromas, inviting a graceful journey of flavors. Notes of wheat sugar, lemon leaves, and orange blossom are woven into a floral layer reminiscent of hawthorn. The sensation is one of freshness and delicacy, with the flavor traveling smoothly from the front of the palate to the back, where it finishes with a lingering, satisfying hui gan. The subtle sweetness of the wheat sugar enhances the experience, creating a beautifully balanced profile. The complexity, texture, and finesse of this tea are reminiscent of a finely aged white Burgundy—an experience of refined elegance for both novice and seasonned dancong oolong tea drinker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 600; line-height: 18px;\"\u003eYixing pairing : \u003c\/span\u003ePin Zi Ni, Chao Zhou teapot, Qing Shui Ni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 600; line-height: 18px;\"\u003eWater temperature : \u003c\/span\u003e90C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 600; line-height: 18px;\"\u003eStorage : \u003c\/span\u003eDrink now, store cool and dry\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945396531377,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0309\/2021\/files\/dancong-oolong-tea-jing-lclkc.jpg?v=1735582632"},{"product_id":"lao-cong-lei-kou-chai-dancong","title":"Lao Cong Dong Fang Hong Dancong","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eOrigine :\u003c\/span\u003e Chao Zhou, Guang Dong province\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eHarvesting area :\u003c\/span\u003e Feng Huang Town, Wu Dong ethnic Village\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePlantation altitude :\u003c\/span\u003e ~1200 m above sea level\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eHarvesting :\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSpring 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eTea varietal :\u003c\/span\u003e Dong Fang Hong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAverage tree age :\u003c\/span\u003e 100+ yo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eNet weight :\u003c\/span\u003e 50gr\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter years of hesitation, \"Dongfanghong\" Dancong finally meets the tea enthusiasts of Jing Tea Shop. My first encounter with it was years ago, not through its name, but through a story. It goes back to 1955, when China’s rural areas transitioned from mutual aid groups to unions. A famous tea master, Wen Yongji, from Wudong village, crafted two pounds of the finest tea, which he sent to Chairman Mao. The Central Office responded, thanking him but declining the gift due to regulations. The tea was named \"Dongfanghong.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name “Dongfanghong” has many variations: Songzong tree, Tuanjie tree, Fengchan tree (high-yield tree), Yan Shang Zhen (Rock treasure), but as with many renowned products, the name can sometimes overshadow its true character. Over time, “Dongfanghong” became a symbol, and stories surrounding it flourished. For years, I avoided it, thinking its fame outshone its quality. However, when I finally tasted it again, I rediscover that “Dongfanghong” truly lived up to its name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular \"Dongfanghong\" comes from Lizaiping, Wudong village, a high-mountain old tree Dancong. Only tea grown on high mountains can carry that mountain essence, a sweet aftertaste, and a deep, lingering fragrance. The charm of this tea lies in its gentle and embracing \"soft and tamed\" nature. It has a noble elegance, a fragrance that's delicate, a smooth texture, and a full-bodied taste. At first sip, it’s not overpowering, but it immediately comforts the senses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweetness fills the mouth, with hints of gardenia and wood intermingling. The taste gradually reveals its hidden complexity—fragrance in the taste, taste in the fragrance, blending seamlessly. The tea’s color is a rich honey-gold, thick and bright. Each sip is like tasting pure nectar—natural gardenia honey fills the tea, making the flavor rich and mellow, with a strong aftertaste and honey flavor. The tea is incredibly resilient and shows the unique \"flavor\" of high-mountain old tree teas. The tea’s texture gives a “meaty depth,” a rich layer of flavor that lingers with a satisfying aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat high-mountain teas like this one emphasize a lasting resonance—after drinking, the fragrance remains on the lips, and even after swallowing, a subtle sweetness lingers. This enduring taste is what draws tea lovers to such treasures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat tea satisfies not just the palate, but the imagination. Before tasting it, there are many assumptions, some misguided, others half-formed. But when the true taste is in front of you, it transcends all judgments, revealing a clarity that’s pure and deeply satisfying. As Yuan Mei said, \"Relieve anxiety, calm arrogance, and please the spirit.\" This is the tranquility and joy \"Dongfanghong\" gives—inner peace after tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 600; line-height: 18px;\"\u003eYixing pairing : \u003c\/span\u003ePin Zi Ni, Chao Zhou teapot, Qing Shui Ni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 600; line-height: 18px;\"\u003eWater temperature : \u003c\/span\u003e90C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 600; line-height: 18px;\"\u003eStorage : \u003c\/span\u003eDrink now, store cool and dry\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Jing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945397907633,"sku":null,"price":75.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0309\/2021\/files\/2054479490.jpg?v=1736096003"},{"product_id":"lao-cong-ao-fu-hou-dancong","title":"Lao Cong Ao Fu Hou Dancong","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eOrigine :\u003c\/span\u003e Chao Zhou, Guang Dong province\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eHarvesting area :\u003c\/span\u003e Feng Huang Town, Feng Xi Village, Dan Hu ethnic Village\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePlantation altitude :\u003c\/span\u003e ~700 m above sea level\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eHarvesting :\u003c\/span\u003e Spring 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eTea varietal :\u003c\/span\u003e Ao Fu Hou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAverage tree age :\u003c\/span\u003e 80yo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eNet weight :\u003c\/span\u003e 50gr\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAo Fu Hou is a tea that embodies a certain urgency, almost as though it’s in a race against time. Its harvest period is exceptionally short—blink, and you’ll miss it. If you’re not careful, the leaves will grow too old or too light in flavor. Especially in spring, when the tender notes don’t linger long, once the leaves near maturity, they must be plucked and processed within a matter of days. Miss that narrow window, and you’re left with either overripe or insipid tea. This is exactly why it can’t be grown or grafted in abundance—like a rare gem, it only reveals its true beauty to those who are patient and precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAo Fu Hou, its fragrance is a clear variation of the Huangzhi fragrance, but with a unique twist—sweet, yet unmistakably distinctive. The scent is gentle and natural, a harmonious blend of floral notes and sweetness that lingers long after the first inhalation. The tea leaves themselves are tightly rolled, a rich reddish-brown hue that glows with an almost liquid luster. The fragrance dances between creamy notes and soft floral touches, sweet yet complex, with a lasting aftertaste that’s deeply satisfying. It reminds me of the candy-like sweetness of \"Songzhong\" or \"Jue Duo Zai,\" but with a character all its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen brewed, this tea exudes a distinctly fragrant yellow gardenia aroma, with an orange-yellow liquor that sparkles in the cup. The taste is smooth and rich, the kind that leaves your lips tingling with its sweetness, and it has a remarkable ability to be steeped again and again, holding its character across multiple infusions. Even after a dozen brews, the sweetness continues to surprise and delight, its depth never diminishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAo Fu Hou stands out among the Phoenix Dancong for its \"prominent sweetness.\" It’s the kind of sweetness that’s pure and simple—like sugarcane or sugar water—warm and satisfying, yet subtly complex. The natural spiciness it carries provides a brief, intense sharpness that quickly softens into sweetness, creating that perfect contrast of bitterness followed by a rush of sugar-sweet delight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen preparing the tea—warming the cup, adding the leaves, and shaking gently—its fragrance rises like a delicate cloud of gardenia. The sweet, familiar scent fills the air, as if you want to let it linger just a bit longer. As you brew it again and again, the fragrance doesn’t fade. At high temperatures, it’s bold and striking; as it cools, it becomes fresh and inviting, layers of aroma unfolding before you. This is no mere fragrance drifting in the air—it integrates seamlessly into the tea, infusing each sip with a lasting and perfect harmony. The sensation of the fragrance lingering on your lips and in your mouth after a sip is truly a treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, Ao Fu Hou is a Dancong that captivates with its lasting fragrance, sweet complexity, and smooth depth. Every sip is a quiet indulgence, an experience you can’t quite let go of. It’s a tea that invites you to savor it slowly, to appreciate the richness of its flavor and the sweetness that fills the senses—simply irresistible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 600; line-height: 18px;\"\u003eYixing pairing : \u003c\/span\u003ePin Zi Ni, Chao Zhou teapot, Qing Shui Ni, Xiao Hong Ni.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 600; line-height: 18px;\"\u003eWater temperature : \u003c\/span\u003e90C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 600; line-height: 18px;\"\u003eStorage : \u003c\/span\u003eDrink now, store cool and dry\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Jing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945401053361,"sku":null,"price":80.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0309\/2021\/files\/jing-tea-shop-dancong-oonlong-ao-fu-hou01.jpg?v=1759435278"},{"product_id":"2021-milan-dancong","title":"2021 milan dancong","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome teas are meant to be drunk.

Bei Tou refers to a small hollow near a stone monument on the mid-slope behind Dan Hu Village, in the western part of Fenghuang Mountain. The mother tree of this variety grew naturally there, hence the name Bei Tou Xiang. In local classification, Bei Tou Xiang belongs to the “Ye Lai Xiang” (Night-Blooming Jasmine) aroma type. During tea processing, its fragrance fills the entire room—rich, elegant, and unmistakable. This particular batch also comes from old tea trees in Dan Hu Village, tended by the family of our tea master Brother Huang’s cousin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany might assume that teas of the “Ye Lai Xiang” type are all intensely floral and sensual. Yet this Bei Tou Xiang reveals a deeper calm. Its floral notes are poised and grounded, its aroma melts seamlessly into the liquor. The aftertaste is full and round, the texture thick and meaty, pure and fluid, carrying the flavor straight and true. After three slow rounds of charcoal roasting, the fragrance of this Bei Tou Dancong has fully merged with the body of the tea. Beneath the gentle warmth of the roast lies a refined blend of\u0026amp;nbsp;floral and fruity tones, laced with a touch of mineral sweetness reminiscent of Shi Ru, and a faint orchid-like grace—high-spirited yet never overbearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ye Lai Xiang—Cestrum nocturnum, known in Chinese as the “night-blooming jasmine”—is a small white flower of the Solanaceae (nightshade) family that releases its fragrance only after dusk. Perhaps for this reason, Bei Tou Xiang carries a unique nocturnal sweetness—soft, serene, and slightly mysterious. Tasting it at night feels particularly enchanting; the fragrance lingers in the throat, circling gently, refusing to fade. The finish leaves behind a delicate milky note, soothing and long-lasting, inviting the body to unwind.
