Feng Huang Dancong Zhu Ye

Thanks to the Phoenix Mountains' volcanic soil, humid and cool slopes, its oolongs are very fragrant, unique, floral-fruity teas, clearly distinct from those of any other areas.

About the varietal:
“Zhu Ye” refers to a variety of Dancong oolongs known as “Bamboo Leaf Fragrance”, named for its long, slender leaves that resemble bamboo leaves.

Taste notes:
The dry leaves have a citrusy and fresh aroma, with a slightly green touch, something typical for this varietal. It's bright, clean, and inviting.
The taste begins gently. In the first few brews, you may notice a subtle nutty, almond-like flavor. As you keep brewing, this nutty character becomes more pronounced and adds depth to the experience.
The deep amber-color liquor is sweet and light-bodied, with a long, fruity aftertaste. Mango stands out clearly, while berry lovers might enjoy the playful notes of gooseberry hiding in the background.
As the tea cools, the citrus notes from the dry leaves’ fragrance return and become more forward in the cup. The tea finishes with a clean, fresh mouthfeel.

Brewing tips:
This Dancong is a high-grade, premium tea, and its quality shows in how it handles longer infusions. We recommend 45 seconds brewing time but even with extended brewing, it stays smooth and doesn’t turn bitter.
