Phoenix Dan Cong Old Bush Ao Fu Hou Oolong Tea

This is a very special Phoenix oolong from its true origin — a rare varietal with a captivating aroma that locals call the “tea of all fragrances.”

The name comes from the local dialect, referring to the original mother tree that grew behind a natural depression in a tea garden in Dan Hu Chun (丹湖村) mountain village. Ao Fu Hou belongs to the gardenia fragrance family, yet it reveals multiple aromatic layers beyond the dominant floral note. 

It is considered one of the sweetest Phoenix Dan Cong oolongs, with hints of tropical fruit woven into its bouquet. Locals affectionately describe it as “sweeter than your first love.” For Dan Cong lovers, this rare tea is truly an indulgence. 

Phoenix Dan Cong oolong is celebrated for its remarkable range of fragrances and its pronounced hui gan (returning sweetness). The dry leaves are long, twisted, and dark in color. After infusion, the leaves reveal reddish edges — a hallmark of the partial oxidation unique to oolong craftsmanship. The tea is then moderately roasted to refine and harmonize its aroma for drinking.
