caramelized citrus / honey / funky florals
from white2tea:
Black Ant or 'hei may.' Like most dancongs, it has a few stories behind the name. Some say it's because the twisted leaves look like ants. Others because ants congregate on the trees. In any case, it's a subset of zhilanxiang varietal that isn't as broadly famous and is a bit underappreciated.
The tea has a powerful burst of perfume. Sweet, sticky sap body and funky florals. Caramelized citrus fruits and honey. It's over the top, even for a dancong. If you love to nose around in an oolong session, you'll want to try this one.
