{"product_id":"o178","title":"Phoenix Oolong Lao Cong Jiang Hua Xiang Single Tree 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmong the many aroma types of Phoenix Oolong, “Jiang Hua Xiang” has a distinctive presence. It tends to be overshadowed by teas with more striking names, but locally it is particularly highly regarded for its powerful flavor.\u003cbr\u003eWe purchased this tea in 2023 and aged it in Japan for two years under oxygen-free conditions. Aging has made its flavor even more pronounced.\u003cbr\u003eThe name “Jiang Hua Xiang” comes from an aroma reminiscent of ginger flowers. Smelling ginger flowers in Taiwan, China, or Southeast Asia makes the origin of the name clear.\u003cbr\u003eIts vibrant floral flavor recalls narcissus, lily, black locust, and honeysuckle. This is layered with a subtle, sweet, lychee-like fruit note reminiscent of Mi Lan Xiang. Its hallmark is a powerful floral top note with a hint of spice, making it one of the most distinctive aroma types of Phoenix Oolong.\u003cbr\u003eThe tea trees, approximately 200 years old, grow very slowly in a favorable environment at an altitude of about 1,000 m. This slow growth produces a rich aftertaste and an exceptionally long finish. The tea offers a dense, concentrated taste that seems to permeate every part of your body. \u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10664\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0774\/6224\/files\/o178_01.jpg\" alt=\"Dark twisted dried Jiang Hua Xiang oolong leaves on white\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca  rel=\"lightbox[2021單株]\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0774\/6224\/files\/o118_04.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Spreading tea tree on a slope covered with fallen leaves\" width=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0774\/6224\/files\/o118_04.jpg\" height=\"316\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hojo-phoenix-common\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe frequently visit Fenghuang Town in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, to source high-quality Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong tea directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0774\/6224\/files\/IMG_7967.jpg\" alt=\"An old Phoenix Dan Cong tree on Wu Dong Shan and me, Akira Hojo\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn old Phoenix Dan Cong tree on Wu Dong Shan and me, Akira Hojo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0774\/6224\/files\/IMG_7986.jpg\" alt=\"Tea trees growing on the steep, rocky slopes of Wu Dong Shan\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTea trees growing on the steep, rocky slopes of Wu Dong Shan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong Dan Cong teas, tea harvested from especially old trees is called \"Lao Cong.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle tree tea (Dan Zhu Cha), as the name suggests, is harvested from a single tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HOJO Tea","offers":[{"title":"15g (small bag)","offer_id":45546910220464,"sku":"o178ca","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40g (in can)","offer_id":45546910253232,"sku":"o178cc","price":101.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120g (large bag\/40g x 3 bags)","offer_id":45546910286000,"sku":"o178cb","price":298.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"360g value pack (large bag [40g x 3 bags] x 3 bags)","offer_id":45546910318768,"sku":"o178cv","price":721.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0774\/6224\/files\/o178_01-2.jpg?v=1788183071","url":"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/en-en\/products\/o178","provider":"お茶の専門店HOJO \/ HOJO CO., LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
