Feng Huang Dancong Dong Fang Hong

Phoenix Mountains Old-Bush Dancong with Soft Gardenia Flower Notes

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.

Dong Fang Hong (literally “Eastern Red”) is a distinguished cultivar within the Phoenix Dancong style of oolong teas, and is often associated with very old “mother-tree” bushes, some of which are reputed to have been planted in the late Southern Song Dynasty — meaning centuries old.

Taste notes:
The dry leaves open with a sweet, fruity aroma. The taste is slightly toasty and gently fruity—like fresh toasted bread spread with sweet jam. As the tea lingers on the palate, the sweetness deepens and turns into something reminiscent of flower nectar. The aftertaste is complex, balancing that lingering sweetness with a hint of spiciness and soft gardenia flower notes.

How to prepare


5 g 0.2 oz 1.2 US tsp	95°C 203°F	100 ml 3.4 fl oz 100 cc	30 sec.~

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Fill your pot with tea leaves in a 3g/100ml ratio, pour boiling water on them and brew for 30 seconds (no need for rinsing).
STEP 3) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 4) Brew again.

❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about half the time of the first infusion. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (to about 35-40 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our own preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.

my first impression was ripe sweet grapes, but the more I enjoyed the heated leaf aroma, I realized a mellow yet greatly sweet fruity jam on freshly baked bread is happening- excited to confirm my experience as the sazen page also notes jam on toast notes. The wet hot leaf after first pour brought fruity pebbles to mind first and foremost- letting the hot leaf sit a bit it went into a tangy sweetness, a little bit of tart. Amber orange liquor beautiful and does not cloud easily. The key highlight of this tea is the aroma hands down- brewing it for flavor, I found extra strong and long makes mellow sweetness (malty? candy-like soft aftertaste), reminiscent of the superior aroma but not quite as strong. Still, I give this 5 stars for the fact its available in the first place. If matte is the correct word, the leaf shape during brew with hues of red from oolong oxidation is rather pretty

Wet leaves have an aroma of sweet flower nectar. The taste is mild with a lingering aftertaste of fresh flowers. A very balanced tea.

This tea reflects the true taste of Feng Huang Dan Cong, clean tastes without any off-centering in the beginning and steadily transform into expanding mouthfeels and blooming aftertastes. Aroma of the liquor is in floral and honey range with deep character and leaves the notes like strawberry milk in the empty cup. Qi is of the old tree character, deep and grounding, bringing me to the present to enjoy dazzling flavors in the back of my throat. This might not be appealing to newbies comparing to the more modern high floral style, if you are diving deep to Dan Cong this is your final answer.
