What is Feng Huang Dan Cong (Pheonix Wu Long?)
Fruity, floral, tannic, and super aromatic, Feng Huang Dan Cong (also known as Phoenix Oolong Tea) has such pleasant and showy qualities unparalleled by any other kind of loose leaf tea. These qualities have led it to become one of the most popular Wu Longs (Oolong) on the market.
History of Ao Fu Hou
Origin: Feng Xi, Feng Huang Shan (Phoenix Mountain), Chao Zhou, Guang Dong Province, China (~500m elevation)
Ao Fu Hou is another example of the perplexing casual naming tradition for Dan Cong by the locals. It basically means tea trees behind a dip in the mountain, in the local dialect.
Sophisticated and Addictive
Ao Fu Hou is a highly addictive varietal with notes of butterscotch and raspberries. It has sophisticated fine tannins. This is the most elegant Dan Cong we’ve ever tasted at this price point. You gotta try it.
