Phoenix Oolong Red
Many Oolongs age very well and improve in flavor and color over time. This tea has been produced using a combination of oolong and black tea techniques. With careful aging, it has become smoother in texture and its honey and floral notes have further developed. We gave this a light roasting to bring out subtler flavors. This is a special tea that’s unlike any other Oolong. A chilled version of this tea is unforgettable under the hot summer sun!
GROWING REGION
Guangdong, China: The Eastern province of Guangdong, once known as Canton, is a subtropical region, strongly influenced from the moist air of the South China Sea. Here oolong, black, puerh and green teas are grown. Among Guangdong teas, oolong from Wu Dong in the Feng Huang Shan (Phoenix Mountain) area is most highly regarded.
