Ya Shi Xiang Dancong Oolong Tea 80g

Brewed hot, I used the entire 5 gram cake gongfu style in a gaiwan. I was able to get 7 steepings out of the tea (following their brewing suggestions of 212F, 10 second steeps, increased in each infusion). This was yet another stellar oolong! This one leaned more creamy white floral and honey toned than yesterday’s deeper roasted oolong. I do get a slight stone fruit note at the end of my session. This was a delightful ride with each infusion. This oolong is bright, not astringent at all, and has a sweet richness throughout each steep. Definitely a delicious oolong for a spring day! Dancong can be tricky for some, but this would be a great tea for those who find it difficult or are newer to it.

This tea was gifted to me by the company, and I am providing my honest review.

It has a sweet fragrance and the honeysuckle really stands out upon brewing. The tea is way more floral than I expected given the name. I was thinking it would be more earthy but it is on the flowery perfumed side. I am a fan of the history and lore behind this tea.

I received this tea in exchange for my honest review.

At first it brewed up a very pale yellow color and had an amazing honeysuckle amora. Then it became more of an golden color.

I really liked the floral notes of this tea, it was a little bit sweet and there was a slight roasted note in the background.

Don't oversteep or use boiling water for this one! After the first steep, it was somewhat astringent. I lowered the temp to 180° and continued to steep for 10 seconds. Flavor was much better!

Overall I really enjoyed this one once I got the temperature and timing right. I definitely want to try this one again!

This tea was gifted to me by purveyor, but all opinions are my own.

Yashi Xiang Dancong Oolong by iTeaworld offers an elegant and layered tasting experience that stands out even among Dancong teas. From the first infusion, it releases a captivating floral aroma reminiscent of orchid and honeysuckle, immediately setting a refined tone.
On the palate, the tea is mellow and naturally sweet, with a smooth body that carries subtle earthy undertones and a gentle toastiness. These deeper notes balance the florals beautifully. As you sip, the fragrance seems to bloom in the mouth, creating a lingering, almost immersive floral/earthy sensation.
One of its most impressive qualities is the aftertaste—clean, sweet, and delightfully persistent, encouraging slow, mindful drinking. The tea also performs exceptionally well across multiple steeps, with each infusion revealing new nuances while maintaining its core character.
Visually, the experience is just as rewarding. As the leaves unfurl during steeping, they expand dramatically into large, whole leaves—an indicator of careful processing and high quality, and a pleasure to watch.
Overall: A beautifully balanced Dancong oolong with expressive florals, gentle depth, and excellent longevity. Ideal for those who enjoy aromatic, evolving teas with both elegance and substance.

This tea is beautifully fragrant, smooth, and mouthwatering. Expect a gentle honeyed sweetness, soft orchid and gardenia notes, and the creamiest Dancong character I’ve tasted.

It leaves just the right amount of sweetness lingering in the mouth, making it a perfect choice for fans of both lighter and darker oolongs.

A standout tea, brilliant value, and absolutely one to try.

This tea is excellent for me. It is as strong as i like it but doesn`t hit my head. Its delicate aroma does not interfere with enjoying the pure tea taste.

Love this oolong tea! I make some to drink everyday. Super tasty!
