I realize this is a very old post, yet I would like to ask a question in regard the book discussed above. One of the authors of it is said to be Huang Bozi. I guess that would be the ‘grand Phoenix oolong specialist’ Mr. Kwan mentioned. I also saw the very same book in photo by Akira Hojo from HOJO tea. So are we sure the book is not legit?
Also, the typo in the book title, is it supposed the be 丛 (欉) instead of 枞 (樅) ? I thought they are both routinely used variants. Even your teahong.com uses them interchangeably in names of different dancongs.
Thought I’ve encountered an opinion that the dancong should use character 丛 (欉) whereas the ‘cong’ in laocong is supposed the be 枞 (樅).
