About Phoenix Dan Cong

A beautifully fragrant and fruity tea with stunning aromas of mountain flowers, honey, and juicy fruits like lychee and quince, resulting in a truly quenching infusion with a lingering sweetness and depth.

 

About Oolong tea

Oolong tea is a highly regarded Chinese tea that sits between green and black tea, both in taste and appearance, offering a remarkable range of flavours. The process of making Oolong is complex and requires great skill and knowledge. Based on the degree of fermentation, Oolong can feature a light, floral taste like green tea or a richer, spiced flavours more like black tea. Due to its intricate production, Oolong is often prized as a tea for connoisseurs.

 

Cultivation

The leaves for this Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong are cultivated in the renowned mountain region of Wudong in Guangdong Province at an elevation of over 1000 meters. "Dan Cong" translates to "single stem". The tea is harvested from one stem of a single bush from the Phoenix Shuixian varietal, grown with deep roots in misty mountain, mineral-rich soil that help create concentrated flavours. Pickers carefully pluck 3-4 leaves at a time, leaving them to wither outdoors and indoors before dancing the leaves on large bamboo plates. The leaves are then tossed and rolled before being left to rest under sheets and, finally, finished in wood fired ovens.

 

Effects

Oolong tea is rich in secondary plant compounds, especially polyphenols, which have potent antioxidant properties. These antioxidants help neutralise free radicals in the body, slowing down the ageing process and boosting the immune system. Additionally, Oolong tea offers a gentle source of energy due to its moderate caffeine content, supporting the body naturally in moments of relaxation and recovery.

 

How to enjoy

This tea reveals its full potential over multiple infusions, allowing you to savour the evolving notes of mountain flowers, honey, and juicy fruits like lychee and quince. Enjoy it pure to fully appreciate its subtle nuances, or pair it with lightly spiced dishes and mild cheeses. The delicate sweetness and fruitiness also make it an excellent companion to pastries or light desserts.
