Default Dan Cong advice

I think the single bush dancong from Jing and M&Js are the best I've
tried.

Jing had wonderful Yulan and Song Zhong dancong last year. I also
really like the Ba Xian from www.mandjs.com--you should ask Mike for
his reccomendations directly, I think he only carries single bush. He
also has a page on how to brew it traditionally: fill the pot with so
much tea that once you wet it down it fills the pot 80% full. Short
steeps: 4-5 seconds for the first 8, then increasing.
