Highlights

Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong is known for its variety of fragrances and the rich mineral content of its tea leaves. The dry leaves usually are twisted with a dark color. The leaves have a reddish edge, which is a result of a process called Peng Qing or Yao Qing, that is an oxidation process unique to the making of oolong tea. After the Peng Qing process, the tea is slightly or moderately baked over charcoal fire several times, depending on the type of tea and desired storage time. 

This tea was sourced directly from Phoenix Mountain of Guangdong province. Bai Ye varietal becomes popular in recent years due to its natural high fragrance. It was made by Master Liu, who has 20 years of experience in making phoenix oolong tea. It is very floral with hints of subtle fruity notes of peach and papaya. It withstands many infusions.
