Deep in the Phoenix Mountain in Chaozhou, Guangdong, lies a gem in the tea world - Phoenix Dancong Oolong tea. Phoenix Mountain, blessed by nature, with its unique terrain and mild climate, has given birth to tea trees with a myriad of different aromas.
The reason why it's called "Dancong tea" is that the outstanding tea tree varieties are carefully picked and processed individually. Over hundreds of years, through the harsh selection of nature and the meticulous cultivation by tea farmers, there are as many as hundreds of aroma types of Phoenix Dancong, thus earning it the elegant title of "the perfume in teas".
Today, Tongxin She Teahouse presents to all tea lovers a precious and famous tea bush - the ancient tree Phoenix Dancong Huangzhixiang. This tea is a leader among the honey and floral aroma types and is so charming that it's worth savoring carefully.
Wudong Mountain, the second highest peak of the Phoenix Mountain range, is also the core production area of Phoenix Dancong. With an average altitude of about 1,000 meters, Wudong Mountain has a warm and humid climate and fertile and deep soil. It can be regarded as a rare high-altitude tea production area in Guangdong. This ancient tree Phoenix Dancong Huangzhixiang is sourced from the high-mountain tea gardens in Wudong, and its raw materials come from ancient tea trees with an age of 200 years. The accumulation of years has endowed it with outstanding quality and unique charm.
The captivating aroma of Phoenix Dancong is by no means accidental. It is the result of the perfect combination of the internal quality nurtured by the unique mountain environment and the exquisite production techniques. Its dried tea leaves are dark brown and shiny, and the tea strips are tight and solid, just like lines of poetry condensed by time.
When brewing starts, the tea soup is golden and bright, just like the autumn sun shining down. On the surface of the cup, the floral and orchid fragrances blend together, elegant, serene and steady, like the secluded orchids in a quiet valley, quietly emitting a charming fragrance. When you take a sip of the tea soup, the feeling of delicacy and fullness spreads in your mouth instantly. The taste is sweet, moist and mellow, accompanied by the tea fragrance permeating every bit of it. That unique charm of the old tea bush and mountain scenery makes you feel as if you have embraced the gentle breeze and misty clouds of Phoenix Mountain, leaving you intoxicated.
Huangzhixiang tea stands out in the tea world with its long-lasting charm, rich and mellow taste, smooth texture and lingering fragrance. It inherits the essence of China's traditional yellow tea production techniques and incorporates the unique local yellow tea Dancong production techniques, showing its unique style. From the careful picking of fresh tea leaves to the processes of fixation, rolling, fermentation and so on, every step is full of craftsmanship. During the wonderful process of fermentation, abundant aromatic substances are quietly generated, dressing the tea leaves with a unique aroma. And the technique of rolling the tea leaves into filaments makes the tea soup as rich as poetry and the taste as delicate as a dream.
Drinking this ancient tree Phoenix Dancong Huangzhixiang is like being in the ancient tea gardens on Phoenix Mountain, listening to the wind, smelling the tea fragrance and feeling the gifts of time and nature.
