Detailed Product Description

Fenghuang Dan Cong,or Fonghuang Tan-chung as it is sometimescalled, is made from large,single leaves,and it is classified as a single-trunk oolong.The tea bushes are pruned to grow and develop like a tree,with a single trunk that sports individual branches,much like a stone-fruit tree.The leaves of Fenghuang Dan Cong are long,slender,and slightly twisted, and the tea is sweet and complex;it is very elegant in style with a long,refreshing finish.These teas are difficult to come by in the west and are highly prized in China.Now classified as a famous tea,Fenghuang Dan Cong was once an imperial tribute tea.Although the yield from old trees is not as profit as it is from younger tea bushes,the tea is long on flavor and very mouth-filling.Occasionally,delicate tiny white Yulan blossoms are used to scent the tea.
