Phoenix Dan Cong (Fenghuang Dancong) – Overview

1. Introduction

  • Type: Oolong tea

  • Origin: Guangdong Province, China, specifically in the Phoenix Mountain (Fenghuang Shan) region near Chaozhou.

  • Name meaning: Dan Cong means “single bush” or “single trunk,” referring to teas harvested from a single tea plant variety known for a unique flavor profile.

  • Notable feature: Highly aromatic with intensely fruity and floral notes that can mimic natural flavors like orchid, honey, peach, magnolia, or almond — all without any added flavorings.

2. Characteristics

Feature Description
Leaf Appearance Long, twisted, dark leaves
Oxidation Medium (30–70%), giving it depth and complexity
Aroma Floral (orchid, magnolia), fruity (peach, apricot, lychee)
Taste Smooth, layered sweetness with lingering floral aftertaste
Liquor Color Golden to amber
Mouthfeel Full-bodied, slightly creamy, with a long finish

3. Cultivation & Terroir

  • Region: Phoenix Mountain in Guangdong offers mineral-rich red/yellow soils and misty climate, ideal for slow growth and rich aroma development.

  • Altitude: Typically 600–1500 meters above sea level.

  • Unique aspect: Each Dan Cong tree can develop a distinct flavor profile due to genetic variation and terroir influence.

4. Notable Varieties

Phoenix Dan Cong has multiple named cultivars based on their aroma resemblance, such as:

  • Mi Lan Xiang (Honey Orchid)

  • Ya Shi Xiang (Duck Shit Aroma) – Despite the name, it’s fragrant and floral.

  • Zhi Lan Xiang (Orchid Aroma)

  • Gui Hua Xiang (Osmanthus Aroma)

5. Brewing Guide (Gongfu Style – Traditional)

You’ll need:

  • Gaiwan or small teapot (100–150 ml)

  • Water temp: 90–95°C

  • Tea leaf: 5–7 g per 100 ml water

  • Rinse: Quick 3–5 sec wash to awaken leaves

Steps:

  1. First infusion: 8–10 sec

  2. Second infusion: 10–12 sec

  3. Gradually increase steeping time by 3–5 sec for each subsequent brew.

  4. Enjoy 6–8 infusions, noting the evolving aroma from floral to sweet honey.

6. Health Benefits
