Fenghuang Dan Cong

Fenghuang Cha originates in the Fenghuang Mountains in Chao’an County, Guangdong Province. The reason that it is called Fenghunag Dan Cong is because each individual tea plant has a unique look and taste and therefore needs individual plucking, individual processing, storage and retail. There’s a story that the Song Dynasty Emperor was very thirsty when passing by Wudong Mountain. The local villagers offered him Hong Yin Cha. He was impressed by the tea.
