Why Does High Price Coffee Cost So Much Compared with Ginger Flower Aroma Dancong?
Ginger Flower Aroma Dancong is a well-liked aroma type within Phoenix Dancong. The reference lot is a spring 2021, charcoal-roasted oolong from Phoenix Village, Guangdong, made in a medium to high roast style. Dry leaf smells of toasted bread with honey and caramel, and the amber liquor shows minerality and ginger-like spice before turning sweet. Because it was roasted only 20 days before tasting, the fire note has not settled.
Authentic Ginger Flower Aroma is sold by weight, with price per liang varying by roast level, harvest year and origin, and older or higher-roast lots generally costing more. Rested for a few months, the fire character fades into a rounder, sweeter cup that is gentle on the stomach. As with high price coffee, the cost reflects limited yield, hand processing and the aging time a producer is willing to fund.

The first three or four infusions show a rich minerality and ginger-like spiciness, gradually shifting toward sweetness.

Variety: Ginger Flower Aroma Dan Cong Craft: Charcoal-roasted Dan Cong oolong Harvest: Spring 2021 Origin: Phoenix Village, Guangdong
Ginger Flower Aroma ranks among our favorite aroma types of the whole year. This Dan Cong oolong uses a medium roast, and the dry leaves smell incredibly of fresh toasted bread, with honey and caramel sweetness. The roast level falls between medium and high fire, so the entire refining process is accompanied by roasting. By the third or fourth infusion the sweetness rises noticeably, while the first few infusions provide a rich mineral texture. If allowed to rest for several months, the flavor will be even better, but it is already very charming to drink now, and very gentle on the stomach.
After the water is poured, the leaves gradually unfurl, releasing a rich forest aroma, with floral notes faintly visible in the background. The wet leaf base carries a clear ginger spiciness, which waxes and wanes throughout the session, precisely confirming the origin of this tea's name. The tea liquor is deep amber, with a mellow and pleasant mouthfeel. A distinct mineral taste can be felt on the tongue, and after a few sips a dry sweetness emerges. The aftertaste is deep, and the dryness on the tongue slowly transforms over time.
Because at the time of writing these tasting notes, this tea had only been roasted for 20 days, the fire character is still like oil floating on water, not yet fully integrated with the tea leaves. It is estimated that several more months are needed for it to emulsify into a rounded and harmonious whole. We look forward to seeing such high-quality material and carefully roasted Dan Cong slowly age over the years. We have already stored away a portion of the tea, and may release it in future years, so everyone need not store the tea themselves.
As for purchasing channels, the Front Street brand has always had a stable supply of Phoenix Dan Cong, and this Ginger Flower Aroma Dan Cong can be obtained through Front Street's official channels. In terms of price, the market for one liang of Ginger Flower Aroma Dan Cong varies by year, roast level, and origin.
