Phoenix Mountain in northern Guangdong Province is renowned for its distinctive oolong tea production method. Tea farmers cultivate single groves to mimic specific fruit and flower fragrances, resulting in some of the most captivating and complex flavor profiles in the world. One unique aspect of Phoenix Mountain teas is the "Dan Zhu" (single tree) processing style. This means that every batch comes from a single tree, ensuring that the tea's flavor profile is entirely consistent and never blended with other trees. In contrast, teas from larger or younger trees are often picked and blended before processing, which yields single varietals but not Dan Cong. This dedication to quality and uniqueness has earned Phoenix Mountain oolongs a reputation for being some of the most exceptional in the world. |
