80-year-old-bush High Mountain Ginger Flower Dancong (Jiang Hua Xiang)

Jiang Hua Xiang — Ginger Flower Dancong — is high-mountain 老枞 from eighty-year bushes on Wudong, Phoenix Mountain, around 850 metres. The 2025 spring lot was made by Tea Master Mr Wen at a medium roast, enough warmth for the flower line without flattening it.

Push the leaves and the liquor stays clear and consistent; altitude and old bush keep the perfume elegant rather than loud, with a sweet finish that lasts across a long session. We find ginger blossom and citrus peel, then soft white peach and wild herbs with a cool mineral line, ending with a little ginger-spice sweetness.

It sits in the middle of the set on purpose: brighter than Almond, less baked than the hundred-year Honey Orchid, and the one we reach for when the table wants lift.

Also known as Tongtianxiang — "Heavenward Aroma"

Jianghuaxiang is one of the more elusive and high-toned Dancongs, prized for its otherworldly floral sharpness that seems to pierce upward—hence the poetic name Tongtianxiang, or "Aroma Towards Heaven." This cultivar evokes the delicate yet spicy bloom of fresh ginger flowers, rare even in their native habitat. It grows best in older, high-elevation bushes where mist and mineral-rich soils shape its intense aromatic profile.

Our Jianghuaxiang is plucked from 80-year-old trees at 850m on Wudong Mountain and lightly roasted to preserve its vibrant floral headiness. If Milanxiang is all depth and resonance, Jianghuaxiang is a high soprano—flashing with spice, citrus blossom, and alpine clarity. A Dancong for those who love verticality, freshness, and precision.
