What kind of tea does Phoenix Dancong belong to? Where is the most fragrant and authentic Fenghuang Dancong oolong tea?

This is the most exquisite oolong tea in the world. Its long, slender, tightly twisted leaves appropriately reflect the origin of the Chinese name Oolong-Black Dragon. It has an origin, which is another powerful argument, it is probably the oldest form of "Wulong"-Wudong Mountain of Fenghuang Mountain. It is also the most technical and labor-intensive tea production; this kind of tea itself requires a lot of "kung fu". There are two taste characteristics in this subcategory: the classic or traditional style and the floral style are characterized by a higher degree of fermentation and a longer baking process, resulting in the hue of caramel. Different varieties have aromas of honey, ripe berries, peaches or roasted sweet potatoes. The selected bouquet style has a unique and pure floral fragrance. The natural aromatic essential oils produced during fermentation are preserved by slow, low-heat baking. These fragrances differ from artificial or natural additives in their clarity, durability and integration with the taste of tea and other flavors. They stay longer on both sides of the throat and tongue. There are some popular varieties under these two styles, each with different characteristics. During the brewing process of oolong tea for more than 700 years, a large number of oolong tea varieties have been cultivated locally, and the long tea history of She é, the indigenous people of the region, also provides us with a rich choice. This is also a very interesting (and challenging) tea. Each option has some possible effects. Whether you use a beautiful porcelain pot, a large cup, or a covered bowl, just as you did in Chaozhou, the capital of Kungfu Tea, once you have mastered the properties of its raw materials, it can become the best tea.

Origin Guangdong is the southernmost coastal province of Chinese mainland. Fujian is the province with the largest variety of tea, connected with the north. Dense subtropical vegetation covers the mountainous areas adjacent to the two provinces. Phoenix Mountain, the origin of Phoenix Oolong, is a mountain range no more than 1500 meters (4950 feet) above sea level within the northern boundary of Guangdong. Ancient oolong tea trees spread all over the deep mountains of Phoenix. These are ancient plant varieties whose unique organizational structure can be traced back to more than a thousand years ago. They are the ancestors of daffodils, a traditional variety group popular in Wuyi and Fenghuang areas. The production method still used in Phoenix is another strong evidence, which may be the origin of oolong tea. The steps of picking, drying, "fermentation" and drying are broken down into small and skillful steps, which is a truly traditional and artistic tea compared with other best tea production methods today. Before the destruction of the Great Leap forward and the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s and 1970s, it was customary here that the leaves of each tea tree were processed separately to maximize the quality of each tea tree and maintain the taste of each tea tree. This is why Phoenix oolong tea is called dancn-ts tea ng in connoisseurs. This is why this kind of tea has never found a way out outside the country, except for a few privileged classes and connected people-the number is very limited. Today, asexual plant reproduction is used to maintain the biochemical composition of a single variety as much as possible, thus producing taste characteristics. However, there are still a large number of old trees, and their harvest is still handled separately in the traditional way. Some of them are 500 to 700 years old. Although most varieties of Phoenix oolong tea are these single fir, there are other oolong tea varieties in this region, which are not produced by Shuixian varieties, but by Wulong tea varieties, such as the elusive Shiguping, multi-purpose plum sword, and the almost extinct Hongyin. We will discuss them in other articles.
