However, there is no specific mountain called Phoenix Mountain. The name \u2018Phoenix Mountain\u2019 refers to a number of peaks exists around the Phoenix town. As a matter of fact, roughly more than 80% of tea is not even produced from a high mountain but just from an ordinary tea garden at a much lower altitude (sometimes below 500m above sea level). Out of many peaks of the Phoenix Mountain, Wu Dong Shan is known to be the best place for quality Phoenix Dan Cong oolong. The highest peak of Wu Dong Shan is at around 1400m and the tea trees scattered almost till the top of the peak. The tea from Wu Dong Shan is sold at a higher price than the tea from other mountains.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7894.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG_7894\" src=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7894.jpg\" alt=\"The hometown of Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong, Wu Dong Shan\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3355.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3822\" title=\"IMG_3355\" src=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3355.jpg\" alt=\"Rock road at Wu Dong Shan\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3827\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7961.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3827\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3827\" title=\"IMG_7961\" src=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7961.jpg\" alt=\"Tea garden in Wu Dong Shan\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3827\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The trees around the rocks are all tea tree.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3825\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3340.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3825\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3825\" title=\"IMG_3340\" src=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3340.jpg\" alt=\"Tea trees and rocks\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3825\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tea trees and rocks<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There were many walls and path ways that were constructed by rocks. The tea bushes are formed layer by layer and it was built with rocks. It requires a lot of energy to walk around the tea garden of Phoenix oolong. Due to many holes and niches that existed between rocks, we also needed to be aware of venomous snakes present. It is very dangerous to walk around during morning, evening and night where the snakes are active when the temperature is low.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7966.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3826\" title=\"IMG_7966\" src=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7966.jpg\" alt=\"Wu Dong mountain\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3820\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_8051.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3820\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3820\" title=\"IMG_8051\" src=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_8051.jpg\" alt=\"Wu Dong mountain\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3820\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the routes I selected required a casual rock climbing<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The harsh growing environment makes the after taste of a tea very strong and has a complex flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I was at the Phoenix town to purchase Phoenix Dan Cong oolong.
