Phoenix Dancong Oolong is a single bush tea native to Phoenix Mountain in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province. Our Dancong is harvested at an elevation of 600m by hand on Wudong Mountain, known to produce the best dancongs due to its abundant red clay soil with its mineral content, and the presence of older tea trees.
The Bai Cha is also called "White Tea", even though it is an oolong, due to the minimal amount of processing. The tea leaves have been very lightly oxidized and the leaves are not heated and are eventually shaped into individual tea cakes. The tea has a very fresh orchid fragrance and the tea soup is light yellow in color and sweet and clear to the taste. We highly recommend those who enjoy floral white teas to give this white oolong a try. This is an incredible tea, and since it is an oolong from Phoenix Mountain, the fragrance and flavor last for a long time and the tea is great for a longer gongfu session.
These teas are produced in very small quantities, and we were fortunate to secure some for our customers! Please note that this is the exact same tea as the Phoenix Dancong Oolong "Bai Cha" 2022 Harvest. It was one of the first to sell out and for the 2023 harvest, we bought the tea as tea cakes instead of the loose tea, to reduce the bulk and to make preparation easier for those who enjoy fine teas but cannot always travel with a proper scale.
Each 1 oz of this tea is approximately 4 tea cakes.
