Lao Shu Thunderwood Oolong (Lei Kou Chai)

Flavor Profile: Ginger flower aroma, mellow body, sweet with lingering elegance

Lao Shu Thunderwood Oolong, also known as Lei Kou Chai (雷公柴), is a rare and treasured Dan Cong Oolong from the core area of Wu Dong Mountain, Guangdong. Renowned for its ginger flower fragrance and long-lasting sweetness, this tea offers a truly elegant and memorable tasting experience.

According to legend, during a violent thunderstorm on Wu Dong Mountain, a bolt of lightning struck an ancient tea tree. Against all odds, the tree survived and continued to thrive. Since then, teas harvested from this lineage have been revered for their resilience, bold character, and unique energy.

The liquor is a bright orange-yellow, with a mellow, smooth, and full-bodied taste. Its restrained yet bold flavor unfolds slowly: a natural floral aroma, lingering sweetness, and a long throat-rhyme that stays with you well after each sip. This captivating ginger flower fragrance sets Thunderwood apart as one of the most enchanting Phoenix Dan Cong teas.
