This tea originates in the Chen family gardens in Phoenix Village in the Dong Ding region. The tea is traditionally oxidized but is unroasted thus preserving the leafy freshness of the tea. There is a wonderful line of acid that runs along the side of the tongue, the mouthfeel is moderately rich and the tea flavor is persistent. There are complex layers of flavor in this tea and they are very well balanced.

For a great learning and taste experience, compare this tea to the roasted version of exactly the same batch.

Brewing Suggestions:

To prepare this tea in the traditional gongfu style use a gaiwan or Yixing pot and 6 grams of tea per 100ml of water at 212°F (100° C). Steep for 30 seconds. Reduce time to 25 seconds for the second steep and then increase with each subsequent steep,

For an 8 oz cup, use between 3-5 grams of tea, about a heaping teaspoon. Pour water at 212°F (100° C) over the leaves and steep for approximately 90 seconds. Always remember to adjust steeping time depending on water temperature, amount of tea you have and personal flavor preference. Increase time and temperature slightly with each infusion.
