Fenghuang Dan Cong Oolong Tea

Fenghuang Dan Cong Oolong Tea

Fenghuang Dan Cong Oolong Tea, also known as Phoenix Single Bush Oolong, originates from the high-altitude tea gardens of the Fenghuang Mountains in Guangdong Province, an area renowned for producing intensely aromatic oolong teas.

Processed with light fermentation, the tea preserves the liveliness of fresh leaves while allowing its deep aromatic potential to develop. The leaves are long, slender, and elegant, showcasing the strength of the tea trees and the minimal handling typical of artisan Dan Cong Oolong production.

Once brewed, this Oolong tea reveals a complex bouquet of fruity, floral, and spicy notes, often compared to orchid, lychee, honey, or tropical blossoms. The liquor is smooth and layered, with a soft, silky texture that creates a luxurious mouthfeel. Its captivating aroma and rich character offer a tasting experience that is both refined and indulgent.

Each infusion unfolds new nuances, making this tea ideal for mindful appreciation and traditional Gongfu-style brewing.
