Gao Cong tea trees develop tall, tree-like structures with deep root systems, often producing teas of greater complexity, depth, and expressive character. Aromas The dry leaves offer aromas reminiscent of cane-sugar caramel, with toasted brioche notes, dried fruit such as apple, and even hints of macadamia nut, creating a comforting impression.
