Chou Shi Dan Cong – Fragrant Gardenia Phoenix OolongOur delightful Chou Shi Dan Cong comes from Chaoshan in China's Guangdong Province, a region famous for Dan Cong (Phoenix) oolongs. In Chaoshan, tea is served strong, fragrant and always gongfu-style! This Chou Shi Dan Cong is a special new style of oolong — very green, very fragrant and full of flavor. "Chou Shi" means "dehydrate, " referring to its unique production method, which is similar to that of fragrant Anxi Tie Guan Yin. The leaves are picked by hand and, before any wilting, rolled briefly by hand and placed in a special dehydrator to stop the wilting process. This preserves the vibrancy of the large, twisted, incredibly aromatic bright green leaves. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItChou Shi Dan Cong combines the intense aroma Dan Cong is famous for with the fresh, green character of a lightly oxidized oolong. It's incredibly fragrant and flavorful — a wonderful discovery for floral oolong lovers.
How to EnjoyBrew it gongfu-style, just as it's served in Chaoshan, and explore its nuances over multiple steeps. It pairs beautifully with light dishes and fresh fruit. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Fragrant, vibrant and utterly captivating, Chou Shi Dan Cong is a floral oolong to remember. |

A little steeping tipOolong leaves open slowly: steep them two or three times, adding a little time with each round, and enjoy how the flavour changes.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
