Single-Tree Tea
Single-tree tea is tea made from the leaves of one tea tree alone. Ordinary tea blends leaves from many trees, so a single-tree tea is limited to what that one tree gives: a few kilograms at most, and sometimes only a few hundred grams.
Why it is made tree by tree
Tea is made tree by tree because flavor and taste differ from one tree to the next. The character that blending averages away stays intact in a single-tree lot. In Phoenix Dan Cong, single-tree lots from lao cong, trees over a hundred years old, are the most prized.
What we carry
Most of the single-tree tea HOJO carries is Phoenix Dan Cong: a 250 year old mother tree in Guizhuhu village on Wudongshan, a single 300 year old tree in Wudong Hu village, a 200 year old tree in Touya village. We state the village, altitude and tree age for each one. Even from the same garden in the same year, a different tree gives a different tea.
