From the legendary Phoenix Mountain Range in Guangdong Province; home of some of the best Oolongs in existence. This hand-harvested, hand-processed Phoenix is truly something to behold. Big twisted leaves from the Zhong Shan or “white leaf” cultivar produce a goldenrod liquor and lasting flavor that offers many infusions.
Tasting notes: roasted butternut squash, stone fruit, ripe peach.
