Choosing Water & Teaware

Produced in Dongxing Village (東興村), Fengnan Mountains

Jiang Mu Xiang is produced in Dongxing Village in the Fengnan Mountains and is harvested from tea trees that are several decades old.

For reference, Wudong Mountain (烏崠山) is located in the Fengxi Mountains. While Wudong Mountain is widely recognized as the brand for Phoenix Dan Cong, there are many outstanding teas produced outside of Wudong Mountain.

Distinctive Flavor Similar to Galangal

Jiang Mu Xiang is also known as Nan Jiang Xiang. "Nan Jiang" refers to galangal, a type of ginger commonly used as a spice in Thai cuisine, particularly in Tom Yum soup.

Not only in Thailand but also in other Southeast Asian countries, galangal is an essential spice found in local markets and supermarkets.

Galangal

Jiang Mu Xiang has an flavor strikingly similar to fresh galangal, making it a truly unique experience.

We frequently visit Fenghuang Town in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, to source high-quality Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong tea directly.
