The name ''dan cong'' is often misinterpreted as meaning the tea is all picked from a single bush, grove, or clone. This is not correct. ''Dan cong'' is a botanical term that refers to the morphology of the tea plant. Most tea bushes emerge from the ground as a cluster of branches; however, the uncommon ''dan cong'' variety emerges as a single trunk that branches off higher up the stem.
