Song Zhong Dan Cong Oolong Tea – Portable Gift Box (8.5g × 6 Sachets)
Song Zhong Dan Cong Oolong Tea – Portable Gift Box (8.5g × 6 Sachets)
Ancient trees. Centuries of patience. One extraordinary cup. Song Zhong (宋种) — the legendary "Song Dynasty Cultivar" — stands among the most revered of all Fenghuang Dan Cong, a living relic from century-old tea trees rooted deep in Phoenix Mountain. Nurtured by high-altitude cloud mist and mineral-rich earth, Song Zhong carries within it a depth and distinction that only age and terroir can bestow.
Song Zhong (宋种) – The Ancient Cultivar
The dry leaves tell the story before the first steep: large, robust, and tightly rolled, dark umber-brown with a rich, oily sheen, each strip uniform and substantial — the hallmark of a venerable old-growth cultivar with nothing to prove. There is a natural quiet authority to Song Zhong even before water touches leaf; a settled, deep presence that seasoned tea drinkers recognize immediately as the mark of genuine old-tree character.
Fenghuang Mountain Terroir (凤凰山岐韵)
Sourced from century-old tea trees on Phoenix Mountain, Guangdong Province — the storied heartland of Dan Cong oolong. The combination of high-altitude mist, cool mountain air, and ancient root systems drawing from mineral-rich soil produces a tea of extraordinary complexity and sustained finish. Song Zhong's terroir is inseparable from its identity; this is a tea that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
Tasting Notes

• Taste: Smooth, mellow, and full — gentle bitterness that dissolves instantly, giving way to a long, sweet, honey-kissed finish
• Finish: Lingering honey-orchid sweetness, the signature old-tree mellow aftertaste (老丛韵) that resonates long after the cup is set down
• Endurance: Exceptional — multiple steeps reveal new layers of depth and nuance

Presented in an elegant compact gift box, each set contains 6 individually wrapped sachets — ideal for travel, gifting, or sharing the legend of Song Zhong with those who appreciate exceptional tea. Each 8.5g sachet is the perfect single-brew serving for a gaiwan or small teapot.

Product Description
Product Description
Song Zhong (宋种) is one of the most celebrated classic cultivars of Fenghuang Dan Cong, sourced from century-old tea trees high on Phoenix Mountain. Nourished by cloud mist and mountain terroir, the dry leaves are large, tightly rolled, and dark umber-brown with a rich oily sheen — carrying the settled, deep character of genuine old-tree Dan Cong. Brewed with boiling water, the fragrance is full and layered — honey and orchid woven into the liquor rather than resting on its surface. The liquor is a clear, luminous orange-gold; the taste smooth, mellow, and full-bodied with minimal bitterness, giving way to a long, sweet finish with lingering honey-orchid aftertaste. Endurance in the cup is exceptional, with multiple steeps revealing new depth.
