Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong Tuberose Fragrance Ye Lai Xiang

Tuberose Fragrance (Ye Lai Xiang) Dan Cong is one of the most refined and elegant aroma styles of Phoenix Dan Cong oolong. It is named for its captivating natural fragrance reminiscent of night-blooming tuberose. In traditional oolong craftsmanship, Yao Qing — the repeated tossing and controlled oxidation of the leaves — is the most crucial stage. Local tea farmers in the Phoenix Mountains of Chaozhou describe how, during the quiet of the night, the freshly worked leaves release an increasingly rich and penetrating floral perfume, filling the air until the final “kill-green” firing completes the process. Inspired by this enchanting moment, the tea was named “Night Fragrance,” honoring both artisanal mastery and nature’s poetic expression.

The liquor is fresh, and smooth, with a lingering resonance in the throat. Early infusions reveal layered notes of gardenia and night-blooming tuberose, balanced by a delicate bitterness woven into natural sweetness. As it unfolds, the flavor deepens with gentle richness, subtle woody undertones, finishing with a clean and satisfying sweetness.

Elegant yet expressive, Night Fragrance invites you to slow down and savor the quiet unfolding of aroma — a tea that lingers not only on the palate, but in memory.
