Feng Huang Dancong Hong Jun

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:
This rare cultivar is a pure wild mountain tea, meaning it has not been cross-bred or cultivated through modern agricultural practices. It's grown in the misty, high-altitude regions of Phoenix Mountain, specifically in the Qingma Garden (青麻園) at an elevation of 1000 meters. The tea trees here are approximately 90 years old, contributing to the depth and complexity of the tea's flavor. Beyond its delightful taste, Hong Yin Dancong is also valued for its medicinal properties. In traditional Chinese medicine, this tea is regarded as medicinal and is believed to support digestion and improve heart health.

Taste notes:
Before you brew, the dry tea leaves welcome you with a soft, mild smoky fragrance. Once brewed, the tea liquor shows a light, greenish-white color, delicate and fresh.
The flavor is juicy and fruity, like biting into sweet berry candy. You’ll taste the bright sweetness of berries with pomegranate and silverberry standing out clearly.
As you savor the cup, herbal notes come forward, lemongrass adds a fresh, soothing finish that lingers in the aftertaste.
This tea is a lovely balance of juicy fruit, and herbal brightness. It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys a fresh, sweet, and layered tea experience.

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.
