About Premium Phoenix Dan Cong Ao Fu Hou

This premium grade Phoenix Dan Cong comes from the Wu Dong Village, Chao Zhou City, Guang Dong Province. Wu Dong Village is the core area that produces the highest quality of Phoenix Dan Cong oolong tea. The teas that originated here have a unique high mountain charm and are quite rebrew-able.

The yearly yield of this rare Dan Cong is very limited because the picking time is super shot in a year which is just around 3-5 days. This tea belongs to the yellow gardenia type of oolong. This tea is much sweeter than any other yellow gardenia type of ordinary Phoenix Dan Cong teas.

Its taste is full of sweetness, with an obvious yellow gardenia aroma. It also has a very unique milky taste combined with a fruity fragrance. The tea soup is thick and smooth. Its aftertaste is long-lasting. As it comes from high sea level tea trees, it has an obvious charming taste of high mountain old bush trees.

Cultivar and Picking

The name ‘Dan Cong’ means the single shrub of tea cultivars. It is selected from the high-quality Phoenix Shuixuan Species Group, cultivated and picked individually. There are many sub-cultivars under the group of Phoenix Shuixian cultivars, and each has its own characteristic in terms of the leaf and shape of the tea tree.

Based on the different quality of the raw materials generated from Phoenix Shuixuan Species Group and the different levels or sophistication of production processes, the quality of its sub-cultivars can be sorted, from high to low, as Phoenix Dan Cong, Phoenix Lang Cai, and Phoenix Shuixian. In simple words, Phoenix Dan Cong is the upgraded version of Phoenix Shuixian.

Phoenix Dan Cong has dozens of strains and types. According to the introduction of Chaozhou Phoenix tea tree resources, Phoenix tea has 79 kinds of different natural flower flavours, 12 kinds of natural fruit aroma,s and 16 kinds of other fragrances.
