This tea has an exceptionally soft and creamy mouthfeel upon the first sip. It offers a rich and expansive taste due to its high altitude, old tree age, and natural cultivation without fertilizers. This results in a profoundly deep aftertaste and an exceptionally long finish. The flavor is sweet and gentle, reminiscent of tulip flowers, banana, apricot, and wild berries.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg alt=\"Pale yellow tea in a white cup on a gray surface\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0774\/6224\/files\/o42_002.jpg?v=1737905463\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n    What is Lao Cong in Phoenix Dan Cong?\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    In the context of Phoenix Dan Cong, Lao Cong refers to tea made from older tea trees. However, there is no strict definition of what qualifies as Lao Cong, as the age criteria vary by cultivar and producer. Generally, older trees grow more slowly than younger ones, resulting in a longer-lasting aftertaste and deeper complexity, making Lao Cong teas some of the most sought-after and high-end selections in Phoenix Dan Cong.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg alt=\"Tea trees beside a path in a misty tea garden\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0774\/6224\/files\/IMG_4014.jpg\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\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\n\u003cstyle\u003e\na:hover {\n    background-color: #333; \/* Invert background color on hover *\/\n    color: #f0f0e0; \/* Invert text color on hover *\/\n    box-shadow: 0 12px 16px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); \/* Add depth with a stronger shadow *\/\n    transform: translateY(-5px); \/* Slightly lift on hover *\/\n    text-decoration: none;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"HOJO Tea","offers":[{"title":"15g (small bag)","offer_id":44932433215664,"sku":"o42ca","price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40g (in can)","offer_id":44932433248432,"sku":"o42cc","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120g (large bag\/40g x 3 bags)","offer_id":44932433281200,"sku":"o42cb","price":471.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"360g value pack (large bag [40g x 3 bags] x 3 bags)","offer_id":44932433313968,"sku":"o42cv","price":1144.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0774\/6224\/files\/o42_001-4.jpg?v=1737905462","url":"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/en-en\/products\/o42","provider":"お茶の専門店HOJO \/ HOJO CO., LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
