1 Tasting Note View all

“210 Degrees F, Gongfu, 5 seconds + 3 seconds per infusion I believe this to be a good quality tea, it just wasn’t the one for me. It’s a very serious tea. Very low on the sweetness and fruit notes....” Read full tasting note

Description

The Li Family hand picks high-elevation spring-fed tea from their misty plot in the Wuyi Ecological Preserve. Their biodiverse plantings, and careful hand-finishing win them awards year after year.

Jin Fenghuang, or Golden Phoenix has a deep rich rocky texture, a satisfying almost granite-like flavor that build up with each steeping. The Li Family cultivates this tea on their rocky volcanic plot within the Wuyi Ecological Preserve, maintaining natural forest cover and biodiversity that lends even more complexity to this tea. The hand picked leaves are personally finished by Mr, Li over a twenty plus hour turning and fluffing process followed by slow careful roasting to bring out the rich fruit and floral notes in this rare varietal.
