VI - Feng Huang Dan Cong, Phoenix Bird, Chinese Oolong.

Description: This dark oolong, grown amongst fruit trees, has a mysteriously sweet, fruity flavor comparable to grapefruit or apricot, though it is not a flavored tea. It was a top find on a more recent trip to China and is grown only in the Northeast Guangdong Province, in the valleys below the Phoenix Bird Mountain, Mount Feng Huang. From the variety of Dan Cong teas, we chose this “Mi” (honey) “Lan” (orchid) variety. - Taken from the menu at Dobra tea house (www.dobrateapgh.com)

Original Thoughts: Citrusy, floral and might I even say tropical! This is an interesting Oolong tea to say the least. It's refreshing and different and worth checking out if you're looking for something unusual. I might revisit this tea again someday soon.

Original Poetry: Succulent and ripe, pick me from the lush brush of your branch. Breach my skin, peel me apart, toss me in a mound of richness and fitness. I never felt so juicy or jewcy.
