Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong Tea Fenghuang Mountain Almond Fragrance Xing Ren Xiang

Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong is known for its variety of fragrances. The dry leaves are usually twisted with a dark color and have a reddish edge as the result of a process called Peng Qing unique to the making of oolong tea. 

Almond fragrance is one of the ten famous fragrance types of Dan Cong oolongs. The mother bush of almond is said to be around 300 years old. It is also called Ju Duo Zai as the fresh leaves have a serrated edge like a saw blade. This tea is from Phoenix Mountain, Guangdong province. True to its namesake, this tea is certainly suggestive of an almond fragrance, but there’s a pleasant complexity to the flavor that goes beyond. The floral fragrance derives from the natural development of the tea, not any almond flavor additives that you would find in many of the more common blended offerings on the market. The tea liquor is clean, has a special honey taste, a smooth texture and is creamy and sweet, with hints of passion fruit and pomegranate. It is a truly special oolong.
