Origin & Terroir of Da Wu Ye (Light-Roasted)
Tea Origin (Wudong Village, Wudong Mountain )
This Da Wu Ye (Light-Roasted) Fenghuang Dancong comes from Wudong Village on Wudong Mountain, in Fenghuang Town (Chao’an District), Chaozhou, Guangdong, China—a core producing area for Phoenix Dan Cong oolong. The mountain terroir and noticeable day–night temperature swings help build richer natural compounds, contributing to a cleaner sweetness, clearer aroma, and better layering in the cup.
Made from a Wu Ye lineage cultivar and picked as one bud with two leaves, this tea is finished with a light roast to preserve freshness and floral clarity. Expect an elegant gardenia-like floral lift, a bright golden (sometimes honey-green) liquor, a smooth and sweet taste with very low bitterness/astringency, and a light, quick sweet finish—ideal for drinkers who prefer fragrant, lively light-roasted Dancong oolong.
