"Daily Milan Dancong" from White2Tea, a reasonably priced Mi Lan (Honey Orchid) style oolong. Nothing fancy, but tasty and gets the day started.

2019 Milan (aka Mi Lan Xiang aka Honey Orchid) Dancong from White2Tea. Interesting to attempt to perceive similarities with the "Milan White" I drank a couple days ago.

Yashixiang, aka "Duckshit Fragrance", Dancong Oolong from One River Tea. Fine example of the variety/style and a good company.

Google translate has the Chinese characters on the bag as "Flower Machine Full of Incense", but the producer, Tong Xin She Teahouse, says it is 2021 Lao Cong Man Tang Xiang Dancong Oolong and translates it from Chinese as "Old Bush Roomful of Fragrance" Dancong. Take your pick.

Starting the day with a return to One River tea's baked "Orchid" Dancong.

"Orchid" baked Dancong from One River Tea is another ambiguously labelled tea. From the dry leaf smell, I'm guessing it is Honey Orchid or Mi Lan Xiang.

Yelanxiang Dancong Oolong from One River Tea. I believe this is from accidentally double purchased baked tea sampler. Fragrance forward and enjoyable, but I miss the charcoal.

Dancong Oolong was one of the first Chinese teas I tried. It has a reputation for being finicky to brew, however for the first few years, I brewed it in a fairly ordinary thin porcelain gaiwan and never really had any problems. Then I tried to improve my Dancong teaware, experimenting with clay, ruyao porcelain, and other teapots. I was never as happy with the tea. Going back to the same old gaiwan today feels like going home, and the tea is more enjoyable.

White2tea is not known for cheap teas but they do sell relatively affordable examples within most of their tea categories. Like this "Daily Duckshit" Oolong (or Everyman Baimudan or Daily Jinjunmei). While it isn't going to win any tea awards, it is a very good Dancong Oolong for the price, (about .25c US a gram,) and better than more expensive examples of Ya Shi Xiang I've tried.

Compressed Dancong Oolong isn't really a thing, unless you're crazy enough to make it so. 2018 Carbolic Soap (Huxley quote) from White2Tea.
