Jiang Hua Xiang

Born from the Jiang Hua Xiang cultivar itself, this Dancong wears its lineage unabashedly on the leaf. Even dry, it releases a delicate interplay of zest and spice—an aromatic nudge suggesting fresh orange peel and young ginger root long before the kettle stirs it awake.

The liquor glides in with a creamy softness, layering gentle citrus over a warm, ginger-tinged brightness that expands across the palate without ever turning sharp. A faintly floral lift gathers in the finish, echoing orange blossom and lending the cup a sense of airy elegance.

Faithful to the bouquet style yet impressively persistent, this Jiang Hua Xiang rewards patient brewing with infusions that remain fragrant, silky, and luminously spiced to the very end.
