A beautiful traditional tea from Chaozhou in the fashion of a local every day tea from the 70ies.It is a blend of various Oolong varietal (Qilan, Dahong, Meizhan, Huangdan) from the surroundings of Fenghuang.

Shi Gu Ping Wu Long
Shiguping Wulong is a very particular and rare tea from an old variety. It is an old local variety from the village of Shiguping and one of the oldest Oolong-varieties. It is NOT a sub-variety of the Shuixian variety, hence it is, strictly speaking, not a Feng Huang Dan Cong. Shi Gu Ping has much thicker leaves than Shuixian and it can thus be shaken more vigorously before the process of oxidation. On the other hand, this tea is less intensely roasted than Phoenix tea made from the Shuixian plant. -

Wu Dong Song Zhong
A very beautiful Fenghuang Dandong of outstanding quality, that needs much attention. The leaves come from over fifty year old bushes that grow at high altitude on Mount Wudong. They are of the sub-varietal Songzhong. The tea is carfully crafted and moderately roasted above charcoal from litchi-wood. Songzhong, Song (dynasty) Varietal means, that cuttings were taken from a tea trea from the Song dynasty, i.e. which is at least 700 years old. New tea gardens were grown from these cuttings. The tea bushes themselves are not so old, their genetic material, however, is, which is reflected in its taste. Such genuine Wudong Sonzhong are also called Dongfanghong (The east is red) in honour of Mao Zedong. -
Ya Shi Xiang Dong Pian
A Yashixiang Dongpian from 20-year-old tea bushes, grown on a medium altitude. Dongpian means winter slice and refers to the autumn harvest.Also in Fenghuang autumn/winter harvests are produced, but for climatic reasons only up to a certain altitude above sea level and much less frequently than in Anxi and Taiwan. These Fenghuang Dancong Dongpian can rarely be found on the market. In contrast to the round, deep, darker roasted spring harvests, the winter harvests of Fenghuang Dancong are light, little oxidised and only very lightly roasted. They are incredibly fresh and intense - a very different kind of green oolong than the well-known ones from Anxi and Taiwan. -
Lao Cong Shui Xian
A beautiful Wuyi Rock tea that has been quite intensely roasted above charcoal. The tea is from the variety Shuixian (daffodil or water ghost). It is possible to find some old and even some very old trees of the Shuixian variety in different locations on Wuyishan. These are then also called Bai Nian Cong Shui Xian, which means Shuixian from 100 year old bushes. The leaves harvested stem from 100 year old bushes near Ma'anyan, the horse-saddle rock. The age of the trees gives the tea more depth and intensity, which the dark roasting underlines well. -

Die Chun
A very interesting tea from Chaozhou. Diechun can be translated as spring butterfly. This tea is the result of an excellent blend of the varieties Qilan, Shuixian and Dawuye. The idea of this blend is to produce a good, affordable and fruity tea of a Phoenix Single Bush.

This tea replaces the Hong Xiang Lan, the was made of Qi Lan only. -
