I must say that all the teas from TEASENZ have pleasantly surprised me, and this Phoenix Dancong certainly lives up to its promises.
This is an excellent Dan Cong for this price.
It has so much flower fragrance and lasts quite a long time.
4.5*, I recommend to try the Xing Ren Xiang!
At this price point a good introduction to Dan Cong oolong.
Smell: very floral, orchid
Tasting notes: floral oolong
Brewing parameters: 5g/100ml. 95C 15s (keep first brew to taste last), then 100C 5s brews
I've tried nearly all of the dancong oolongs sold here, and I've enjoyed all of them immensely. If I had to pick a favourite out of all of them it would be this one.
It has a taste with a lot of depth and complexity, and a very long lasting aromatic aftertaste. The taste remains strong over a dozen steeps. TEASENZ: Helloç½å®Â, we're glad to hear you've enjoyed all of our dancongs. This review means a lot to us.

Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.
When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.
Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
