Our Phoenix Dan Chong Oolong is one of our most remarkable Oolongs. The enthusiast who tries this authentic Phoenix Dan Chong Oolong for the first time is shocked by the overwhelming extent of fruitiness and instantly falls in love with this lovely tea. It is hard to believe that the flavor is developed naturally from the tea leafs and that the tea is not scented. Phoenix Dan Chong Oolong is produced by a very sophisticated process, yet its honey-like aroma and sweetness with a subtle floral character is very easy for everyone to instantly accept and enjoy.
This premium grade Phoenix Dan Chong Oolong tea is descended from a long line of Phoenix Shui Xian tea trees all bearing the same unique honeyed aroma and flavor. This tea was harvested from an old grove sitting 950+ meters above sea level on Wudong Mountain, located in the northeastern region of Guangdong Province near the city of Chaozhou. This harvest area is synonymous with its delicious and premium quality of Phoenix Dan Chong Oolong tea. Many trees there have aged up to several hundred years and the growing climate of high altitude and rich minerals in the soil bring about a soft and thick taste to the tea.
Phoenix Oolongs are complex and delicious teas, but are challenging to brew. There are two approaches to brewing it. The friendlier path on the brewing guide to the right will result in a tea that is very sweet and floral, with light honey notes. In Chaozhou, however, such a light brew would be considered much too light. The traditional method of brewing Phoenix Oolongs is to emphasize aftertaste and finish. This means a tea that is initially bitter to the untrained palate, but delivers a finish that is intense and persistent.
