Heavy litchi flavors with some florals and a hint of astringency. I prefer this brewed with less leaves. When I use more it comes off like perfumed soap. Not the best thing I've tried...though it was only $6.50 for a 125g bag.
Sounds like a winter Dan Cong. Some less expensive, lightly oxidized winter Dan Cong has high content of anthocyanin (a biomolecule found in many fragrant flowers) which tastes fragrant (or soapy for people who don't like it) and easily astringent.puerhking wrote:Dancong Snow Flakes from China Cha Dao -

That depends on if the tea is still fragrant/soapy after 5-6 infusions. Many dan cong products are very inexpensive and scenting can be an expensive procedure. So there may not be an incentive to scent itTead Off wrote: Probably scented tea.
So far I haven't personally seen a scented dan cong yet. But I once had a very odd "greener da hong pao" that I highly suspect it's scented 
Scenting technology should be cheap and easy to do. Not saying the tea is scented, just suggesting the possibility. At $6.50/125g for DC, you don't get good tea.

Nope, there´s only two ways to lose weight without seriously risking your health with dangerous drugs.mikek wrote:Yumberry Wulong which is Oolong based from Teavana is great!!
Does anyone think Oolong really does lead to weight loss like it is claimed?
1) That should go in the flavored tea section.mikek wrote:Yumberry Wulong which is Oolong based from Teavana is great!!

While I agree with that, there is the other option, which I think is what really happens when people loose many pounds from drinking tea, and that is drinking tea throughout the day instead of soda, energy drinks, or any other high caloric beverage which ties into eating less calories, although its often over looked as a reason why in that category. Of course all this goes out the window should you start adding sugar to the tea.edkrueger wrote: 3) Any weight loss effect from tea would have to come from drinking it instead of eating. Some people seem to think of it as a food substitute. It gives others the tea munchies.
