A quote from a happy customer who drinks this tea:
"I've had 211 varieties of tea in the past 3 months and the only one I drink daily (& carry on my person) is the Phoenix Oolong from JING Tea" - Grant - Tea Reviewer
*Based on 3g per serving, infused 3 times.
Appearance: Fine, almost feathery spears of matt, brown-black leaf
Infusion: Light fawn liquor with dark, slender, softly unfolding leaf spears
Aroma: Incredibly fragrant notes of peach and citrus over a gently honeyed base
Taste: Light-bodied and incisive, with a refreshingly bitter-edged aftertaste
Infuse: 1 tbsp per cup in boiling water for 2 minutes

Great Tea
I'm new to the tea thing - a recent convert from years of espresso. This tea is delightful. The first brew was very 'biscuity' at 1st, going in in later infusions to become delicate & floral. -
A tea newbie writes: A real revelation
This is only the second oolong I have drunk and I was stunned at how different two teas of the same "type" can be. Where my earlier experience of oolong had led me to expect a sweet amber brew with chestnut, apricot and violet tones, JING's Phoenix Honey Orchid Oolong, prepared using about 3 teaspoons and water just under boiling ("fish eyes") in the 250ml glass gong fu pot, was lighter and paler. The first infusion had a sweet biscuity aroma and the taste was more reminiscent of a lightly brewed black tea, with sweeter citrussy notes which came to the fore as the tea cooled. The second infusion was more strongly biscuity in aroma and more rounded in taste but retaining a pleasant tannic bitterness at the edges. The third infusion was paler and more honey-scented with floral notes, tasting greener and more mineral, with violet coming through as it cooled. I can understand why the happy customer quoted in JING's overview is such a fan - this tea has enough complexity and oomph to make it interesting and stimulating at any time of day, but is not overwhelming or dominant. A tea for any time.
