Hello friends,
I have had an oolong with a very sweet smelling dry leaf and the taste of honey and light fruits in the first infusions. I'd like MORE but this tea is very dear ($0.90 per gram ... yikes) -- so I need something less expensive for everyday...
I dislike too much smoke, but I can live with it if need be.
Ideas?
($0.05-0.45 per gram or less than $12 for 30g is the general price range...)

Maybe an Oriental Beauty? Enjoyingtea.com has a good one at a good price. It's one of my everyday teas.

I just ordered this:

This might be an option. It's certainly priced for everyday consumption. Apparently it's a hybrid. Dan Cong varietal grown in Wuyi. I should get it this week, so I'll try to remember to post my thoughts after I try it.

I think you're more likely to have luck getting that out of a dancong rather than a wuyi for the price, actually...

This wuyi pretty heavy on the dark fruity/flowery and honey

Interesting. I ordered something billed as a "Light Roast Da Hong Pao" from Yunnan Sourcing, and it appeared to be a Dancong. I wonder if it wasn't something like this hybrid here.Joel Byron wrote:I just ordered this:

Re: fruit and honey wu-yi
The tea that I linked to has a nice fragrance, but a subtle flavor. Not gonna give you what you are looking for.
Re: fruit and honey wu-yi
I bought this one right when they started selling it - in the past year it's gotten even better @_@ I think it's one of my favorite darker oolongs right now.Evan Draper wrote:Interesting.

Re: Fruit and honey wu-yi
There was a da hong pao that I got from a local tea merchant that tasted exactly like honey and dried fruits, so I guess you could try looking into those.
