A Rare Expression of Phoenix Dancong
Sourced from Da’an Village, one of the most prestigious Phoenix Dancong growing areas, this tea comes from ancient trees 50-70 years old. Nestled in the Wu Dong Mountain range (985m-1100m elevation), this region has a 700-year-old tea-making tradition, with traditional charcoal roasting.
Why Ancient Tree Honey Orchid?
-
Incredible Longevity: Can be brewed 15+ times while maintaining full-bodied flavor
-
Richer, More Complex Aroma: Ancient trees absorb more nutrients, producing tea with intense floral fragrance and lingering sweetness
-
Deeper, Fuller Taste: Higher levels of polyphenols and amino acids create a smooth, thick mouthfeel with a strong returning sweetness
Traditional Charcoal Roasting – A True Connoisseur’s Choice
Unlike electric roasting, charcoal roasting enhances aroma and depth, removing any bitterness while preserving the tea’s unique characteristics. The process allows the leaves to absorb negative ions and far-infrared energy, creating a deeper, more complex roasted note.
Additionally, charcoal-roasted Dancong:
-
Ages gracefully, developing richer flavors over time
-
Has lower moisture content, making it easier to store
-
Requires multiple rounds of small-batch roasting to ensure perfect consistency
The result? A tea that is visually stunning, rich in flavor, highly aromatic, and naturally sweet—a stark contrast to the mild taste and cloudy appearance of electrically roasted teas.

This tea is sourced from Baizhang Village in Xiaoqiao Town, located just outside the Wuyishan core scenic area. Though not within the official “Zheng Yan” zone, Baizhang boasts over 1,000 years of tea-making history and was once a producer of imperial tribute teas. At 730m elevation, its high-mountain terroir—misty climate, sandy-gravel soils, and rich mineral content—meets the classic criteria for producing exceptional rock oolong at outstanding value.
After extensive tasting of Rou Gui from across Wuyi’s top areas, we selected this tea for its exceptional balance of flavor, structure, and price—making it our top choice for a daily drinking Rou Gui with true character.

Unit price perWuyi Shui Xian (High Mountain, Old Bush)
Wuyi Shui Xian is one of the signature cultivars of Wuyi rock oolong. it combines rich floral aroma with a thick, velvety liquor. Originating in the Qing dynasty, Shui Xian is the only semi-arbor cultivar among Wuyi teas. Old bush (lao cong) trees—typically 50+ years—produce deeper, smoother infusions with forest-like clarity, woodsy depth, and signature “cong” flavor. Compared to newer bushes, old trees yield higher amino acids and lower bitterness, making them more enduring in brews and suitable for medium charcoal roast.
This tea is sourced from Baizhang Village in Xiaoqiao Town, just outside the Wuyishan core scenic area. With a 1,000-year legacy of tea production and imperial tribute history, Baizhang sits at 730m elevation in the southeast Wuyi Mountains. The terroir—constant mist, gravelly soil, and rich minerals—creates optimal conditions for deep, layered teas at a more accessible price point.
We compared several Shui Xian teas from within the Wuyi core and selected this high-mountain, old-bush version for its mature flavor, authentic craftsmanship, and outstanding value. With a taste profile reminiscent of 40–50-year-style Shui Xian, this tea is not only beginner-friendly but also worthy of daily storage and long-term appreciation by seasoned drinkers.
