Harvest Date: April 2026 Harvest Location: Tian Zhu Ken Village, Fenghuang Shan, Guangdong, China Cultivar: Mi Lan Xiang Elevation: ~750 m

This unusual Hong Cha is produced from Dancong tea material grown in Tian Zhu Ken Village in Fenghuang. The approximately 40-year-old trees grow at around 750 meters in a landscape notable for its abundant bamboo.

The village has a cool climate with some fog. Rather than processing the leaves as a traditional Dancong oolong, they are made into Hong Cha, offering another way to experience the character of Fenghuang tea material. The producer describes this tea as particularly sweet and fruity.
