The profile has an alluring, slightly mysterious quality that is rather seductive and unusual. The name references a tree that lightning could not kill, the replanting of saplings from an original tree and the subsequent Lei Kou Chai cultivar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe organic leaves are harvested by hand in April, sun dried, left to rest, shaken and this process is repeated six times. Then they are stir-fried, upon which then they are twisted and kneaded, re-fermented twice, and fired twice. Finally they are oxidized to 30%, then roasted repeatedly until the sweet, honey and floral aroma is brought forth. It is known as “Nong Xiang” style. This tea is floral, with notes of stone fruit, and deeply aromatic which makes it highly desirable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWe source this wonderful tea from small, self-owned garden in Guangdong, China an area famous for it’s spectacular Feng Huang Dan Cong (Phoenix) oolong.
