Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong

Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong, originates from Phoenix Mountain in Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, China. Here, the tea gardens bask in diffused sunlight and are veiled by mist year-round, with pristine air and crystal-clear, sweet waters that provide the perfect terroir for tea cultivation. Phoenix Dan Cong is celebrated for its signature mountain character and floral notes, standing proudly alongside Wuyi Rock tea and Anxi Iron Goddess of Mercy (Tieguanyin) as one of the top three Chinese Oolong tea varieties.

The leaves of Phoenix Dan Cong are long, even, and straight, with a golden-brown hue speckled with cinnabar red. The tea liquor is orange-yellow colour, clear and bright. The tea leaves contain a rich array of health substances including amino acids, vitamins, tea polyphenols, and alkaloids.

As a gem of Chinese tea culture, every cup of Phoenix Dan Cong encapsulates the natural essence of Fenghuang Mountain and the dedicated craftsmanship of the tea masters, making it a rare choice for tea enthusiasts.

// Floral, Woody, Honey //
This oolong is distinctive in its taste profile among its kin. The first sip presents a hint of pleasant bitterness, which is soon overshadowed by a floral flavor. This initial bitterness quickly transforms into a strong, enduring sweetness. As the tasting journey continues, layers of honey and a subtle roasted essence come to the forefront, all while being graced by the aromatic sweetness of flowers. These rich layers captivate any oolong tea lover.

Mug:

Kung Fu Tea:
Heat the water to 100°C. The first infusion is designed to awaken the tea leaves, allowing them to slightly unfurl and release the oolong's distinctive aroma. It is not meant for drinking, so pour out the water after 2-3 seconds. For the subsequent infusions, a brewing time of 3-5 seconds is recommended to maintain the tea’s delicate balance of flavors. As you progress to the middle and later brews, you might extend the steeping time based on the tea liquor‘s taste, but beware of over-brewing, as it could introduce unwanted bitterness.
