When I visited the Länggasstee tea house in Bern, I wanted to also grab one of their teas to bring home, and this is the one I chose. It’s a really nice Dan Cong that is neither too fruity nor too flowery, just the way I like it. It has medium bitterness and astringency, and a very long-lasting and complex aftertaste that is quite floral.

The aroma is indeed perfumy and flowery from the get go (narcissus, honeysuckle), but there is a hint of spruce wood as well. The taste is somewhat sweet and woody in the first 4 steeps with notes of fir, tree sap, and nectar. I also like the plump and active mouthfeel. Second half of the session is more fruity with flavours such as apple and juniper. The aftertaste brings further dimension with its savoury (yeast, butter) and floral aspects.
