80-year-old-bush High Mountain Almond Dancong (Xing Ren Xiang)

Xing Ren Xiang — Almond Dancong — is high-mountain 老枞 from eighty-year bushes on Wudong, Phoenix Mountain in Chaozhou, around 850 metres. Our 2025 spring lot was made by Tea Master Mr Wen with a light roast, so the almond line stays clear rather than buried in charcoal.

Eighty-year bushes at this height tend to brew out clean and even for about ten infusions: aroma stays elegant, the aftertaste sweet and long. In the cup we find toasted almond and fresh cream with white florals — soft nuttiness into magnolia and buttered toast, silky, with a faint roasted-sugar edge.

This is the quiet end of the old-bush set. We reach for the light roast when we want cream and nut instead of a deep bake.

Creamy, soft, and quietly enchanting

Xingrenxiang may not scream for attention, but those who seek subtlety and structure will fall in love with its calm, nutty complexity. Named for its signature almond aroma—sometimes translated as apricot kernel or marzipan—it balances elegant sweetness with a smooth floral undercurrent. There's something deeply nostalgic in its comforting notes of almond cream, magnolia petals, and warmed porcelain.

Harvested from 80-year-old bushes on the rocky slopes of Wudong Mountain, this Dancong is lightly roasted to preserve its softness and aroma while gently smoothing its tannins. A tea for slow mornings or thoughtful evenings—structured, creamy, and quietly seductive.
