How to Brew & Store This Tea

Choosing Water & Teaware

This tea was harvested from a single 300-year-old tree at an altitude of 1,100m in Wu Dong Hu Village.

Phoenix Oolong Lao Cong Shi Hua Xiang Single Tree 2021

The tea garden is at a very high altitude, and the tree is by far the oldest among our Phoenix Oolong single tree teas. As a result, the liquor is extremely smooth, with a long lingering finish and a dense aftertaste that seems to soak into your body. In a sense, the pleasant texture of the liquor alone makes this a wonderful tea.

The flavor is gentle and calm, with sweet notes of narcissus, ripe prunes, akebia, and pineapple.

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

Among Dan Cong teas, tea harvested from especially old trees is called "Lao Cong."

Single tree tea (Dan Zhu Cha), as the name suggests, is harvested from a single tree.
