Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong Tea Honey Orchid Mi Lan Xiang

Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong is known for its variety of fragrances and spacy content of its tea leaves. The dry leaves usually are twisted with a dark color with some leaves have a reddish edge, which is a result of a process called Peng Qing or Yao Qing. Yao Qing is an oxidation process unique to the making of oolong tea. Phoenix Dan Cong oolong has 40-80% oxidation depending on the particular style and floral elements. After the Peng Qing process, the tea is slightly or moderately baked several times, depending on the type of tea and desired storage time. As the name suggests, this tea has complex notes of orchid, honey, with a slight smokiness, creamy body and sweet finish. A classic everyday Phoenix Dan Cong tea worthy of owning.
