I tried an amazing tea today called Phoenix supreme,picked up this at
tea shop in london called the tea Smith, an oolong from china. Well I
have to say it was absolutely mouth watering delicious. The leaves had
a really ripe berry fruitty aroma with a light flowery natural berry
taste to make a really unique tea. Anyone tried this or know about
this tea. If you like green oolongs this really is one worth trying.
mmm

Well, can I get the Chinese name of this tea? In Pingyin...

It Just says Phoenix supreme on the label and Chinese tea, Guess I can
call the vendor and ask him more info. He is a nice chap and I iwll
get back to you .

Phoenix is a common word in Chinese tea terminology so my guess 凤 or
é³³. I wasn't sure if the character for the English term Phoenix was
obvious to you. Another poster from China who knows Chinese tea
characters is always welcomed.

I googled the name Phoenix Supreme and got several hits but did not
really find a supplier of the tea.

I did several searchs using "鳳凰��" ('chinese phoenix' oolong ) to try
and find something, but the results were rather varied and spotty.
There are producers from different provinces producing oolong and
marketing their tea under this name. The leaves are either rolled into
strips or balls and the tea leaves in the picture have similar brown
black colours.

Since this is not a 'terrior' associated name, either this tea is made
using a specific processing method or it's a marketing name. I side
towards the latter.

Oolongs from Phoenix Mountain in Guangdong are world famous.

I've had several Phoenix oolongs - dancong - which sound more highly
oxidized than the one you are describing. Do you know from where in
China it originates and what colour are the leaves?
The tea I've had as Phoenix is darker and slightly roasted. It was
called "Feng Huang Shan" , as came from Guangdong and had honey
overtone and a floral undertaste. I understood it to come from an area
near Phoenix mountain.

I am looking at the leaves before brewed they are a roasty brown color
with a slight orangein it. Looks like a formosa leaf they are not
rolled up. The tea is not a deep color its a light orangytangerine
color and intererstingly the leaves after the third brew look light
browny green, some leaves more green than others but very light. I
have pictures if you want I can send you the photos as I have already
added them to my portfolio. I have emailed the store whom I bought
them from, did not get around to calling him today but will foloow up
tmrw. This guy sells very high quality teas so I assume this is one of
them.

tasted a Phoenix Oolong (Dan Cong Mi Lan Xiang) from Zhong Guo Cha
(worldsource international or something like that)
i really liked the flavor

the wet leaf was very tightly rolled
heres pic of wet leaf

The color of the wet leaf is very similar to what I have, however the
dry leaf does not look as stringy. as soon as I am updated on this
mystery leaf I will post it.
The wet leaf was a great picture... good one

Ahh...thanks for the info

Ok mystery solved Shen you got it the tea comes from an ancient
plantation in the phoenix mountain located in Guandong . I was told
that this ancient plant contributes to the unique taste and flavor of
this tea. I will see if I can loctate and get a variety of these as I
am sure they all have different characters which seem to connnect well
with my tatse buds
.. Any sugggestions ?
