Guangdong Province
Guangdong Province is a huge market where large quantities of Pu-erh tea are sold and consumed. Looking at the teas produced in Guangdong itself, there are oolong, black, and green teas, and by far the most famous of them is Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong, made in Fenghuang Town in Chaozhou.
Phoenix Dan Cong is one of China's three great oolong teas, along with Anxi oolong and Wuyi oolong. Beyond its remarkable flavor, tea made from old trees has a long lingering finish and a natural sweetness, and it has many devoted fans.
We have visited the region regularly since 2010 and source directly from the producers.
