2024 Phoenix Dancong Limited Edition "Ancient Tree Dong Fang Hong " 6g
¥4,000($26.80)
When talking about Dancong, we must start from the core production area of Fenghuang Mountain Range, and one of the best Dancong teas should start from Wuding Mountain, the second main peak of Fenghuang. Wuding Mountain in history is related to an emperor. Because of him, Wuding Dancong became famous, and since then, people in this land have had an outlet for making a living. Fenghuang Dancong tea has a long history of cultivation. According to the Twenty-Five Histories "Song History·Benji": In the second year of Jingyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1278), Emperor Bing of Song fled south to Chaozhou. It is widely rumored that Emperor Song was thirsty when he passed by Fenghuang Wuding Mountain. The attendants picked a kind of leaves with a tip like a wren beak from the mountain and cooked it. After drinking it, it quenched thirst and produced saliva. It was highly praised by Emperor Bing of Song Dynasty, so it was widely planted by later generations and called "Song seed" or wren beak tea. The tea farmers here passed on the seeds from generation to generation until the end of the Qing Dynasty, forming a stable and high-quality variety, which became the tribute tea of the Qing Dynasty. After that, the Fenghuang Dancong tea from Wushan Mountain rarely leaves the mountain. If it is not reserved by the royal family, it is consumed by local tea farmers themselves. Today, although Dancong is not a national tribute tea, due to its scarce production, most tea farmers who make a living from tea in Fenghuang Mountain love tea as much as themselves, so even if they get some good tea, they are unwilling to sell it. Drinking it by themselves is always unsatisfactory, and it is even more rare to be sold in the market. This is how the saying "Good Dancong does not leave Chaoshan" came about. Today, Our Teahouse recommends a Fenghuang Dancong "Ancient Tree Dongfanghong" collected by our own teahouse, with a rare production of 2kg in total. Those who love Fenghuang Dancong have all heard of the resounding name of "Dongfanghong". The founding of New China brought new hope and dawn to the people. And opened a new chapter on this ancient land, Dongfanghong, the sun rises! In the early days of liberation, the tea farmers of Fenghuang Mountain handed over the "Song Tea" to Chairman Mao after several turnovers, and Songzhong No. 1 has since had a more resounding name-"Dongfanghong". "Dongfanghong" is not only the name of a song, but also a symbol of an era. It is also a "wonderful fragrance" in the Phoenix Dancong Ancient Tree Tea Garden. "Dongfanghong" has experienced hundreds of years of inheritance and development, and has gathered the spiritual energy and essence of heaven and earth in the cracks of the gravel soil of Yayang. The ancient tree "Dongfanghong" is fragrant and sweet when first tasted, and sweet and smooth when tasted again, like honey water with fragrance, and the aftertaste is long and far-reaching. Although the death of the mother tree is regrettable, we can still feel the historical memory left by the "Old Song Seed" from the ancient tree "Dongfanghong" in the ancient tea garden, which makes people feel more cordial. Moreover, the ancient tree "Dongfanghong" is sweet and mellow when swallowed, and the gardenia fragrance is deep, which permeates people's hearts like the morning light.
