Full Description
It comes from Phoenix Dan Cong tea trees, but processed as a black tea instead of a Dan Cong oolong tea. Originally such tea was created for experimental purpose, but tea drinkers in China adored its rich sweet flavor of fruitiness and hence, plus it also makes an excellent cold brew, so nowadays it has become a perfect daily go to tea and an all season suitable tea.
