From Yunnan Sourcing

Phoenix Village is the home the to original four surviving “Song Zhong” trees that have been growing there since the Song Dynasty. Song Zhong is a naturally occuring hybrid of Shui Xian (grown in the Wu Yi Mountains). Song Zhong is often called “Sweet Potato Dan Cong” and has a sweet nectar like taste.

Our Middle Mountain Song Zhong is from 50 year old trees growing naturally next to the Feng Xi Reservoir at about 700 meters altitude

While not as premium as our Single Tree “Song Zhong” Dan Cong Oolong Tea this is an incredibly high quality Dan Cong in the “less than $1 per gram” price range. Creamy, vegetal, thick, complex and long-lasting this would be a good addition to lovers of serious Dan Cong Oolong.

I love Song Zhong teas and this one is yet another great example. The profile is complex, atftertaste long and evolving, the mouthfeel very coating and the energy is particularly warming and cleansing.

Dry leaf aroma reminds me of cherries and custard, while wet leaves smell more like apricots, durian, peat moss. There are, however, many notes to explore.

The taste is strong, but not overly bitter. The feeling is warming and expansive, and there is also some elegant astringency. Flavours include marmite, snails, tree sap, tomato vine, almond shell and many others. Aftertaste then has more of some herbal spiciness and sourness. There is also a stonefruit fragrance and further hints of tequila, bread, and berries.

12/23 Afternoon
First time using a clay pot for oolong.
Maybe too much tea for this pot. By steep 5 or so, very smooth. The flavor is very unique and the sweetness definitely comes through.
