Classic Everyday Phoenix Oolong - Limited Time

Classic Everyday Phoenix Oolong – Perfect for Oolong Milk Tea

This Classic Everyday Phoenix Oolong from the renowned Fenghuang (Phoenix) Mountain region in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, is a versatile tea that truly shines as a stellar base for oolong milk tea. Its robust and balanced flavor profile features honey tapioca sweetness, dark chocolate earthiness, complex minerality, and subtle orchid-like floral notes, creating a rich and satisfying experience.

The dry leaves are tightly twisted with a dark brown sheen. Once brewed, they unfurl into a bright, uniform appearance with red edges—evidence of the traditional processing methods used to produce this tea. The tea liquor has a clear, golden-yellow hue and opens with earthy, dark chocolate bitterness that transitions into a honey tapioca-like sweetness. This layered complexity lingers subtly, making it a great standalone tea while also having the strength to cut through milk and sugar for a delicious oolong milk tea. 

Fenghuang Mountain’s high altitude and mineral-rich soil provide the perfect conditions for cultivating tea bushes with deep, nuanced flavors. The climate, with its frequent mist and abundant rainfall, adds to the complexity of this Phoenix oolong, ensuring every sip is packed with character.
