Fenghuang Dancong (Phoenix Single Bush) is a collective name for oolong tea specially grown and produced in the Chaozhou area, China. Different types of Dancong are separated and cultivated from the excellent individual plants produced from the Fenghuang Shuixian plants. All types of Dancong follow the single-bush picking and single-bush tea production method.
Why is this Xuepian Dancong tea so special?
- Geographical advantage: The raw materials are collected from Fenghuang Mountain in Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, China. The tea garden is located at an altitude of about 600 meters. The age of the tea trees is more than 60 years. Tea farmers pick fresh tea leaves on the Frost Descent solar term (usually on October 23 or 24 every year). At this time of year, the rain is relatively less, the sunlight is soft, and the tea leaves grow slowly. The cool climate promotes the growth of tea leaves, so that the tea amino acids and aromatic substances in the tea leaves are better accumulated and precipitated.
- Tea making process: This Xuepian Dancong tea uses the traditional charcoal roasting method, which is roasted for 120 hours. This tea is not astringent, the fragrance is dissolved in water, the soup feels soft, and the floral fragrance is far-reaching.
