Phoenix Oolong Lao Cong Xiong Di Zai Dan Zhou 鳳凰烏崠老欉兄弟仔單株

大庵村庵棱 (Da An Village An Ling) 950m Dark twisted tea leaves spread on a white surface Leafy tea tree growing on a hillside Xiong Di Zhai 兄弟仔 is a very popular tea in Phoenix town yet it is not well-known in overseas. It has distinctively fruity flavor. Its sweetish flavor reminds me of honey, mangoes, pears and peaches.

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.
