Phoenix Dancong Oolong (Fenghuang Dan Cong) — Bulk from Chaozhou
Phoenix Dancong (凤凰单丛) from Phoenix Mountain, Chaozhou, is the “perfume of teas” — a strip-style Guangdong oolong with dozens of celebrated aroma types. We supply the two market leaders, Mi Lan Xiang (honey-orchid) and Ya Shi Xiang (almond-floral “duck shit aroma”), plus Xing Ren Xiang and Zhi Lan Xiang, in light and medium roasts with transparent single-bush vs garden-grade labeling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Dan Cong” mean?
“Single bush” — historically each aroma-type mother tree was picked and processed separately. Today it also names the whole category; true single-bush material is a premium tier above regular garden grades.
Which aroma type should I start with?
Mi Lan Xiang (honey orchid) is the safest, most broadly loved profile. Ya Shi Xiang is the connoisseur favorite with a striking gardenia-almond fragrance — great for specialty shops.
Why is it sometimes spelled Dancong, Dan Cong or Tung Ting? Is that the same as Taiwan Dong Ding?
Dan Cong / Dancong is Chaozhou Phoenix oolong (Guangdong). Taiwan’s Dong Ding (Tung Ting) is a different rolled oolong — the similar names confuse buyers, so we label origin clearly.
How many infusions does Phoenix Dancong give?
Gongfu style (6–8 g per 100 ml, 95–100 ℃): 7–10+ infusions, with aroma holding through the session — a strong selling point for tea houses.
What is the MOQ and packing?
300 kg per aroma type; 250 g/500 g vacuum blocks in export cartons or bulk bags with liner.
