This blend is built on a foundation of Big Black Leaf ( Da Wu Ye ) Dancong from Guangdong——sourced from centennial tea trees whose deep roots in rocky soils yield a rich nutrient profile, prized for its robust body and natural orchid notes. We’ve balanced it with Fujian’s Qilan and Baxian Oolongs to create a multi-layered profile. The leaves are traditionally scented with fresh Gardenia flowers, allowing the fragrance to fuse deeply into the tea rather than just sitting on the surface.
Like other premium Oolongs, this brew captures the floral freshness of green tea while maintaining a velvety depth.
Top: A light, elegant burst of fresh gardenia aroma.
Heart: Smooth, vibrant, and full-bodied oolong tea with a pleasant hint of initial crisp bitterness.
Finish: A lingering "huigan" sweetness with a refreshing floral aftertaste.
According to the official Chronicles of Chaozhou Prefecture, the heritage of Phoenix Dancong tea dates back to the late Southern Song Dynasty, boasting a legendary history of over 900 years. Nestled in the mist-shrouded peaks of Mount Fenghuang (Phoenix Mountain), these rare tea trees are celebrated for their diverse natural aromas and profound terroir. It is widely recognized as China's most aromatically complex and expressive tea cultivar—yielding an unmatched depth of natural floral and fruity profiles born entirely from the leaf and rock-rich soil, without a single artificial additive.
