Chennian Songxiang Fenghuang Laocong Milan 2016
10.00€ – 18.00€
(Archive Phoenix Honey orchid from old trees with the scent of pines)
When I visited Fenghuang village for the first time in 2016 (see map – Canton / Guangdong province) with my Prague friend Vítek Dzaridze, I understood that the teas from there are incredibly harsh. Every day we went around shops and garages where tea was roasted with our bicycle. Everyone offered us their tea, and one day we were so drunk that we had to take another day off. To come across really top tea here, one has to drink it with a cask, and we left sadly, because our tongues were already washing out the fragrant tea almost after drinking even water. When leaving for the local bus, we came across a small, unremarkable shop with very interesting tea roasted on charcoal. I was surprised that it has a wonderfully red infusion with deep notes of pine cones and a secondary aroma of orchid flowers. Maybe it smells a bit like roses.
The taste is strongly mineral, bittersweet with a slightly bitter tail and with a waxy aftertaste that returns after a short time. It is one of the top Phoenix teas I have ever drunk.
