Description

Honey Orchid Phoenix Mountain Tea is also known as Dan Cong, or Single Tree. This uniquely fragrant oolong is grown near the top of Phoenix Mountain in a volcanic-soil garden, next to a mountain lake. The tea trees range between 50 and 150 years old.

This particular Phoenix Oolong is the famous Honey-Orchid variety. It brews a golden-orange liquor full of peach and lychee notes with a stone fruit aroma.  When brewed correctly, the finish of this tea is without equal, with clear notes of the charcoal firing from processing.

Phoenix Mountain Oolong is always on China’s “Top 10 Teas” list.

Tea leaves can be re-brewed many times, until the desired flavor disappears.

    This is a wonderful oolong tea. Very different from the high mountain Taiwan oolongs, but very delicious!

    I keep ordering this unique tea!! Oolong is “one thing”–this is in a “category” all by itself!! It is ALIVE and “breathing”— and I keep watching the little video about it just for FUN, again and again! This tea is a “WOW!!” for me!! and makes me “smile out loud”!
