From the peaks of the Phoenix Mountains
The Phoenix Mountains of Chao Zhou, in the Guangdong province of China is the home and birthplace of Dancong Oolong, some of the most exquisite and aromatic teas in the world.

Phoenix Honey Orchid Red Black Tea
Taking the one of the most popular Dancong oolong cultivars – Phoenix Honey Orchid (AKA Mi Lan Xiang) and turning it into a black tea amplifies the sweet and fruity notes of the tea, whilst also giving it a light honey-like sweetness and a fuller mouthfeel that you get from a black tea.

Jasmine Pearl Green Tea
The tea base uses an aromatic, Jasmine Pearl Green tea that's been traditionally scented. This involves fresh jasmine flower buds being spread over finished green tea and left overnight to let the buds bloom and the tea absorbing the jasmine fragrance. The flowers are then removed the next day and the process repeated over a few nights. The result is a balanced and aromatic Jasmine Green Tea.

The magic of cold brewing
Brewing tea is a balancing act. By adjusting the key brew parameters (leaf quantity, water temperature and steep time) you extract different compounds and elements within the tea. Over brew the tea and the tannins and bitterness can takeover, overpowering any of the more volatile aromatics in the tea.
