One Bush (Phoenix Bird Dan Cong Oolong)
|
|
Classed as a single-trunk oolong, the tea leaves grow on a tree that has been cultivated for, in cases, hundreds of years, to reach this shape and unusual quality. This is a famous tea grown in the Feng Huang area in the Phoenix Mountains of Guangdong Province. Made of long, thin leaves crafted by artisans, then high-fired to a deep brown-red leaf color in wicker baskets over wood charcoal, the taste is toasty, full of aroma and fruity notes. This tea is a real treat as it will unleash a wealth of nectar-like tastes and provide multiple steeps.
Tea Notes
We buy our Dan Cong oolongs from a school teacher. His family is involved in all aspects of its production. He calls regularly to check in and say hello.
While no longer high-production trees, the harvest is long on flavor and highly satisfying.
