bush + rhyme
Definition#
'Bush rhyme': the distinctive finish of an individual (usually old) dancong bush. The Chaozhou standards DB4451/T 1-2021 and T/CZTTBZ 002-2021 define Phoenix dancong as oolong with natural floral or fruit aroma plus 丛韵 and 蜜韵; Jiemian speaks of an obvious 老丛韵 in old almond-type bushes.
