Lao Cong Ji Long Kan Phoenix Oolong (Dan Cong)

Ji Long Kan, meaning "chicken cage," is named for the tree’s distinctive posture, resembling the cages used to confine chickens on a farm. The mother tree, over 300 years old, flourishes in a tea garden at an elevation of 831 meters. This Ji Long Kan Phoenix Dancong tea is sourced from its origin in Zhongping Village, located in Chaozhou’s Phoenix Mountain.

The steeped leaves are soft and uniform, with red-tinged edges. They are slightly curved, tightly rolled, and deep brown in color.  The tea releases a fresh, natural wildflower aroma, layered with rich fruitiness— dried plum—alongside captivating hints of orchid and incense, evoking the scent of whiskey.

The tea soup has a light amber color. Its flavor is bold, rich, and refreshing, with a hint of bitterness. With each sip, it reveals a profound, lingering sweetness and a robust character that gently surges to the throat. The continuous flow of sweetness and salivation, coupled with its remarkable brewability, makes this a tea you’ll find yourself reaching for cup after cup.
