Royal Fenghuang Dancong Tea Leaves - Dragon Phoenix - Gourmet Oolong Teas - 8 Ounces

All Phoenix I will ever have will be compared to the Phoenix Supreme sold by "Ming Cha" in Hong Kong. This tea certainly has some of the flowery scent and taste of a Phoenix, but it does not quite create the Ah! effect I am accustomed to. Unfortunately, there is no universally accepted grading system (such as for cognac, say), so it's hard to say whether the seller even claims this to be top grade.If you do get it (as an every-day tea), I recommend you use the "gong fu" method of brewing, which mostly eliminates the risk of over-steeping and your tea's becoming bitter. I use enough leaves to fill 3/4 of a pot (100ml), 180F water (wash the leaves to open them up), and I get 3-4 infusions, starting with 20-30 sec on the first round, then getting slightly longer.A pleasant tea, and I would buy again, but as I said - it has big shoes to fill.
