Charcoal Roasted Lao Cong Mi Lan Xiang, Old Bush Honey Orchid Aroma, (Dan Cong)

There are three main regions producing Oolong teas.  These regions include Taiwan, Fujiang province, and Guangdong province.  The Phoenix oolong is produce in Guangdong province and is commonly called Dan Cong which means a single bush. The farmers only harvest the tea leaves and produce the tea from a single bush.  Each bush also produces an unique tea flavor and character.

This tea is harvested from the Wu Dong Mountain of Chaozhou where the tea-growing region is at high (1,391 meter) altitude.  There are more than three thousand tea plants over 200 years old on the mountain.  The leaves appear twisted, but strong, and in dark color.  This high quality tea creates a surprisingly rich mouthfeel filled with fruity aroma and a long lasting satisfying taste.  The flavor of this tea is all natural with no artificial flavoring.

The tea has been re-roasted in the winter of year 2021.  There is a noticeable smoky flavour from the very first infusion that brings back memory of the charcoal roasted traditional oolong tea for many tea connoisseurs.  The smoky flavour become less pronounced in the second infusion and a sweet honey taste follow the more subtle smoky flavour.  The tea can make many infusions each with different flavors.
