Phoenix Oolong

This tea, grown in the Phoenix Mountains of the Guangdong Province of China, was once a tribute tea to be presented to the emperor each year. In a cloudy and misty climate, ancient terraced slopes support moss-covered tea trees, some dating back to the Sung Dynasty. Phoenix Oolongs are still grown in the traditional manner on tea plants that have matured into small trees. Pickers use ladders to complete their harvest. We are undecided about whether its woodsy, fruity flavor derives from the age of the trees, the ancient earth in which it grows, or the shroud of mystery which hangs in the air around it.
