Phoenix dancong
Phoenix Mountain Dancong from Chaozhou is the most fragrance-forward oolong family: individual bush selections each carry a named aroma type — Mi Lan Xiang (honey orchid), Ya Shi Xiang (duck shit), Xing Ren Xiang (almond), Gui Hua Xiang (osmanthus), among others. Medium oxidation and varying roast levels produce intensely aromatic teas that change dramatically with the harvest season and each producer's roasting hand. These sit between the lighter Anxi family and the heavier Wuyi rocks in oxidation and roast but are categorically distinct from both in their singular, name-driven fragrance character.
