Jasmine Oolong Tea
Authentic Jasmine Oolong is a premium tea that combines the fresh, fragrant notes of Jasmine flowers with the smooth, rich flavor of Oolong tea. The process involves carefully blending freshly bloomed Jasmine flowers with Oolong tea leaves during the drying stage, allowing the tea to absorb the flower's natural fragrance. The more times the tea is scented with Jasmine flowers, the more intense and aromatic the floral notes become. After the scenting process, the tea is dried again to lock in that fresh, vibrant Jasmine aroma.

For the best flavor, Jasmine Oolong is typically made with high-quality, lightly fragrant Tie Guan Yin Oolong tea leaves, harvested during the summer or autumn season. The result is a tea that’s perfectly balanced: the fresh, lively Jasmine fragrance mingles seamlessly with the smooth, creamy taste of Oolong. It’s like stepping into a garden full of blooming Jasmine flowers, where the sweet floral notes and the smooth, sweet tea create a refreshing, comforting experience in every sip.

This Jasmine Oolong tea is perfect for anyone who enjoys a balance of light floral notes with a rich, smooth finish—ideal for any time of day when you're craving something fragrant and refreshing.

Wild oolong tea, produced in Li Jiang Village, Longsheng County, Guilin, Guangxi. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the region boasts rich organic soil, strong sunlight, and frequent rainfall, at an altitude of around 1000 meters. Grown in a pristine ecological environment with abundant vegetation, this wild oolong tea is cultivated without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, resulting in limited yield with only one spring harvest per year. Processed using the techniques of Wuyi rock tea, it offers a rich floral and fruity aroma, with a fragrant infusion and a burst of floral and fruity notes upon tasting. The liquor is bright orange-red, with evident golden rings.

Introduction:
This Fenghuang Dancong tea is meticulously selected from the autumn harvest of 2023. Plucked from ancient tea trees in high-altitude gardens in Fenghuang Town, Guangdong, at elevations of approximately 850 meters, the exceptional growing conditions impart a refined texture and rich, layered flavors. The plucking standard of one bud and two leaves ensures a smooth, full-bodied taste, combining fruity notes with a roasted aroma that lingers delightfully.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Core Production Area: Grown in Fenghuang Town, Chaozhou, Guangdong, where the mild climate features an average annual temperature of 21.4°C and annual rainfall of 1685.9 mm. The acidic red soil, deep and rich in organic matter and trace elements, plays a crucial role in shaping the tea's distinctive aroma and flavor.
• Tea for Diplomatic Occasions: On April 7, 2023, French President Emmanuel Macron visited Guangzhou and was served Fenghuang Dancong tea during a tea ceremony at the Songyuan Hotel, highlighting its status as a prestigious Guangdong tea.
• Unique Tea Variety: Harvested from ancient tea trees over 100 years old, planted 6-8 meters apart in remote mountainous areas and picked only once a year. This ensures a rich, sweet aftertaste with a slight astringency, characteristic of Fenghuang Dancong.
• Special Processing Techniques: The unique methods of oxidation and medium roasting create a tea with floral and honey-like aromas, setting it apart from others.

Oxidation Level: 30%-40%
Roasting Level: Medium roast
Tea Garden Soil: Yellow soil
Processing Time: Autumn 2024
Best Before Date: 24 months
Tea Variety: Fenghuang Dancong

This tea was freshly roasted on August 31 and is recommended to be stored for a period of time before drinking.

Why shouldn’t freshly roasted Oolong tea be consumed right away?

Right after roasting, the tea has a strong charcoal aroma that can mask its natural fragrance and flavor. It also retains a certain “fiery” quality — caffeine and tea polyphenols remain high, making the taste slightly harsh or astringent and potentially irritating to the throat or stomach. Drinking it too soon can also lead to a feeling of internal heat, especially for those prone to “heatiness” or during dry seasons, known in traditional Chinese medicine as “shang huo” (excess internal heat). These symptoms quickly subside once consumption stops.

To avoid discomfort, let the tea rest before drinking. This allows the fire taste to fade (“tui huo”) and the tea’s components to stabilize. Once rested, the tea becomes smoother and more balanced in both aroma and flavor. Lightly roasted teas need about 1–2 months to rest, while medium to heavily roasted ones require around 6 months.

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.

Wuyi Qizhong, locally called "Cai Cha," refer to the indigenous tea tree varieties naturally growing in Wuyi Mountain. They are a sexually propagated group of plants and among the most ancient varieties in Wuyi. Famous Wuyi oolong teas such as Bai Jiguan and Tie Luo Han were selected from these rare varieties, making them the "gene pool" and a "living fossil" of Wuyi Rock Tea.

Due to the significant individual differences among these plants, the brewed tea presents diverse aromas, ranging from floral notes (orchid), fruity notes (honey peach, snow pear), woody notes, to creamy notes; older bushes may even carry a wild character.

This tea belongs to the Ban Yan (Half-Rock) category. It opens with a floral fragrance, develops fruity aromas, and carries a unique mineral character known as "Yan Yun" (rock rhyme). The taste is rich and full-bodied, with a smooth, lingering sweetness, pronounced throat finish, and strong durability for multiple infusions.
