“Here is one of my sipdowns from around the start of August. I’m not sure why I have been holding off on posting this one so long, as it was one of the best and most memorable teas I have tried in...” Read full tasting note
Phoenix Village is the home the to original four surviving “Song Zhong” trees that have been growing there since the Song Dynasty. Song Zhong is a naturally occuring hybrid of Shui Xian (grown in the Wu Yi Mountains). Song Zhong is often called “Sweet Potato Dan Cong” and has a sweet nectar like taste.
Our Song Zhong Dan Cong comes from a single tree that is 150 years old growing naturally in Phoenix village. The tea is lightly processed to preserve it’s green-ness so that the subtleties of the aroma and taste can be enjoyed more fully. Song Zhong is a very rare Dan Cong with just a few acres under cultivation. The bigger/older trees only produce 2+ kilograms per harvest. Our Spring 2017 production is a single tree harvest with only 1900 grams in total (1.9 kg). It is very natural and pure tea with a unique taste that you won’t find in other Dan Cong oolongs.
