Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong Tuberose Fragrance 夜来香

Tuberose Fragrance (Ye Lai Xiang) Dan Cong is a refined Phoenix oolong celebrated for its captivating night-blooming floral aroma. Both expressive and graceful, this Dan Cong embodies the harmony of skilled craftsmanship and nature’s poetry, offering a memorable tea experience that unfolds with every infusion.

In traditional oolong craftsmanship, Yao Qing ( 摇青 ) — 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 smooth and fresh, opening with elegant notes of gardenia and tuberose, balanced by a gentle bitterness and natural sweetness. As the tea evolves, it reveals deeper layers of subtle woodiness and a clean, lingering finish.
