In the mist-shrouded Phoenix Mountains of China's Guangdong Province comes a tea whose aroma can transport you to the clouds and whose taste can enchant even the most discerning connoisseurs. We are talking about Liu Xue Dan Cong (Chinese: 六雪单丛, pinyin: liù xuě dāncóng) oolong, known as the "Sixth Snow Peak" , celebrated in legends for its sophistication and unique character.
The name of the tea is shrouded in poetry. "Liu Xue" means "six snows", symbolizing the six stages of harvesting, and "Dan Cong" is translated as "lonely bush", hinting at the growth of each tea tree separately. Legend has it that once a monk, having lost his way in the mountains, found a wild tea bush covered in snow. Since then, the tea, which grants enlightenment with its taste, has been called "Sixth Snow Peak".
The delicate tea leaves, which have absorbed the power of the sun and the aroma of mountain mists, are carefully picked by hand. This painstaking work allows to preserve all the freshness and richness of taste embedded in each leaf.
To truly unleash the potential of Liu Xue Dan Cong, it is necessary to follow the tea ceremony. Elegant teaware heated in a water bath, clean water heated to 80-90°C – all this creates an atmosphere of harmony and peace. The first steeping washes away tea dust, opening the way for further enjoyment. Subsequent brews give a rich spectrum of tastes and aromas: from floral notes to fruity shades, giving way to a sweet and long aftertaste.
Liu Xue Dan Cong is not just tea, it is a whole philosophy, a path to self-knowledge and unity with nature. Every sip gives a feeling of peace and inspiration, allowing you to forget about the hustle and bustle for a moment and immerse yourself in an atmosphere of serenity.
Allow yourself a journey into the world of the Sixth Snow Peak, where every tea leaf holds a story and every sip fills the soul with harmony.

In Guangdong Province, the southernmost and warmest province of China, in the counties of Chao'an, Shaoping, and Qiaoling, they make special Dan Cong (Single Bush) oolongs. The most famous of this group of oolongs is Feng Huang Dan Cong. It, like other varieties, is collected from a specific bush. As a result, each batch has its own unique characteristics.
