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 several times, depending on the type of tea. 

Victoria visited the origin of Ya Shi Xiang, in the center of Wudong Mountain of Phoenix Mountains, Guangdong province, on her 2018 spring tea sourcing trip. With the Covid restrains, we still managed to source this tea from Master Liu, who has 20 years of experience in making phoenix oolong tea. It is floral, very smooth, has subtle fruity notes of butterscotch, mango, papaya, hints of sweet potato with sweet finish.
