From Bellocq Tea Atelier

This smooth operator with full bodied notes of lychee, stonefruit and malt is the delightful result of a traditional dan cong (phoenix) wu long producer trying his hand at traditional black tea. The result is superb and sparkling, with suggestions of buckwheat, rich Deglet Noor date and Belgian chocolate.

We source this wonderful tea from small, self-owned garden in Guangdong, China an area famous for it’s spectacular Feng Huang Dan Cong (Phoenix) oolong. Their estate is organic, and occasionally visited by wild elephants, which only adds to the allure.

Phoenix Black should be steeped multiple times to enjoy the full expression of its leaves.

Origin: Wu Dong, Feng Huang Shan, Chao Zhou, Guangdong Province, China

Elevation: 800-900 m.

I think i’m almost to the point where i need to pull a few more bellocq straight teas out of my shopping box lol I’m getting down to the end of a lot of my straight teas so i can start working on some of those ones without feeling guilty. Of course i’ve been neglecting my puerh and need to drink a lot of flavoured teas, but we’ll get there.

i don’t see this tea as being as strong as the description calls, even with a longer steep – but it is delicious to me. Still need to drink up a bunch more before i decide if it’s worth the price given the exchange and all that but I will fully enjoy this entire bag that i picked up.
