Phoenix 18

Description

Grade: over 100 years old ancient tea trees, from premium to triple premium grades. A blending of the visually imperfect broken leaves from the processing of each of the 10 famous varieties.

The blending of the 10 varieties yields 18 notes to discover. Accompanying the woodiness of ancient trees is the lychee from Honey Orchid,  the toastiness from Almond (Xing Ren Xiang), the fruitiness from Eastern Crimson, and the note of clove from Eight Celestials……  As the liquor cools, the richness and complexity of the full range of flavors present themselves. This blend is a good starting point to appreciate Phoenix Single Bush (Dan Cong).
