Song Zhong Oolong Tea is a prestigious and rare variety of Dan Cong oolong, hailing from the ancient tea trees of Phoenix Mountain in Guangdong Province. The name “Song Zhong” honors the historic lineage of these trees, some of which trace their origins back hundreds of years, possibly to the Song Dynasty. Among these trees, the most celebrated are those associatedwith the “Huang Zhi Xiang” (Yellow Sprig Aroma) and “Zhi Lan Xiang” (Orchid Aroma) profiles. Though the Huang Zhi Xiang variant is most often associated with the “Song Zhong” name due to its widespread recognition and superior development, all trees within this lineage are revered for their unique contributions to the tea’s rich legacy
Song Zhong Oolong Tea is highly sought after for its complex and evolving flavor profile, which varies depending on the specific tree and the year’s weather conditions. The tea can range from rich floral aromas to deep, honeyed sweetness, with the Huang Zhi Xiang variant being particularly noted for its strong, lingering fragrance that marries the floral elegance of orchids with a subtle spiciness. When brewed, the tea produces a bright amber liquor that is smooth and full-bodied, offering a deeply satisfying experience. This tea not only captures the unique terroir of Phoenix Mountain but also reflects the rich history and ancient tea traditions that have been passed down through generations.
