1992 VINTAGE PHOENIX WULONG
ABOUT
This Vintage Classic Dan Cong from 1992 comes from a private tea collector’s collection and represents a rare, carefully preserved example of aged Phoenix Mountain wulong. Such teas are seldom available on the market, as they are typically kept for personal appreciation by experienced tea lovers who understand the value of long-term storage and patient maturation.
Produced according to traditional methods and maintained under proper conditions for decades, this tea reflects an older approach to Dan Cong craftsmanship where time itself becomes part of the production process. It is not only a tea, but a preserved fragment of tea history, offering a glimpse into how Dan Cong was made, stored, and respected by previous generations.
ORIGIN
Feng Huang "Phenix" Dan Cong "Single Bush" got its name from the place where it comes from (the so-called "Phoenix Mountains") and the type of raw material used in the production of this tea. Most of the best representatives of Phoenix wulongs are made from tea trees grown at a distance from each other which guarantees rich soil and affects the quality and taste of the tea. There are eight main cultivars used for Feng Huang Dan Cong production. Each of them has its unique flavour and Milan Xiang "Honey Orchid Fragrance" is one of them.
This tea is so unique, so we can put it in a separate category/level among wulong teas. It is considered that the most valuable is tea harvested from semi-wild/wild old tea trees that have powerful 'Cha Qi' and strong fragrance. This tea should be appreciated slowly, and carefully with great attention paid to the aroma. We highly recommend using tea pairs to appreciate this tea, as well as using high-quality water, preferably boiled over the fire! When properly stored, such tea becomes softer, deeper, and more interesting over time and becomes the same expensive as Pu'Er tea.
This particular tea is harvested in Autumn, from semi-wild 60+ years old tea bushes, grown on Wu Dong Mountain. The trees grow in a relatively wild environment, at a distance from each other, which guarantees soil rich in micro-elements, which is reflected in the high quality and beneficial properties. The Shui Xiang tea bush variety is one of the most popular in China for the production of high-quality Guangdong and Wuyishan wulongs. This tea was produced in a small family production by an 80-year-old master with extensive experience and has been impressing us with his first-class teas for many years. This particular Dan Cong is a medium-heated wulong and has a very subtle, delicate aroma and taste.
ORGONOLEPTIC
Dark, well-twisted leaves with a matte finish and a deep aroma of dried fruit, aged wood, and light honeyed sweetness. Notes of dried apricot, old wood, caramel, and a soft resinous warmth gently rising from the heated leaves.
Clear amber to deep golden liquor with a calm, mature aroma combining dried fruit, warm spice, and subtle floral remnants. Smooth, rounded body with softened tannins, layered sweetness, hints of dried berries, warm wood, light spice, and a mineral backbone typical of Phoenix Mountain tea. Long, comforting finish with lingering honeyed sweetness, woody warmth, and a contemplative, mature character shaped by decades of aging.
