From Yunnan Sourcing

Ji Long Kan is a unique varietal of tea that grows at medium altitude (900 meters) in the village of Zhong Ping (Feng Xi area). Ji Long Kan varietal (literally means “Chicken Cage”) is originally a Feng Huang Shui Xian varietal but naturally crossed with other tea trees and became distinctive.

This one was very good, and if it didn’t cost an arm and a leg I would definitely make it a regular order. I tried the spring 2017 version.

The dry leaves have a strong passion fruit scent. That carries into the aroma of the brewed tea, but unlike many fruit tastes, it doesn’t bring any acidity along with it. The wet leaves smell a bit tangy, but that doesn’t come through in the flavour of the tea, which is very smooth and full, with a milky taste and texture. In later steeps, a pecan flavour comes through as well.

While the tea is pretty strong even in the early steeps, it never developed any real bitterness. I would call it a savory tea, though, as there was no particular sweetness either. It lasted for quite a few steeps – I think six or seven.
