Ya Hou Lao Cong Ba Xian Phoenix Dancong
This top-tier Ba Xian is a distinctive Phoenix Dancong oolong from Ya Hou Village in the Phoenix Mountain region of Chaozhou, Guangdong. Grown at over 850 meters above sea level from 70+ year-old single tree, this old bush selection carries the refined aromatic depth and mountain character that make high-quality Dancong so sought after.
Ba Xian, meaning “Eight Immortals”, takes its name from the story of eight exceptional tea trees propagated from an ancient mother tree. Each tree preserved the refined fragrance and character of the original, while expressing its own subtle personality, much like the legendary Eight Immortals, each with a unique gift.
This tea is known for its lifted Zhi Lan fragrance, an elegant floral profile often reminiscent of orchid, gardenia, honey, and ripe fruit.
Compare with Song Zhong Zhi Lan Xiang
Both Ba Xian and Song Zhong belong to the elegant Zhi Lan Xiang fragrance family, yet their expressions are beautifully different.
Ba Xian is bold, powerful, and multidimensional — almost like an “all-round warrior” of Phoenix Dancong. Its aroma is high, vivid, and commanding, combining orchid-like florals with honeyed fruit, mountain depth, and a strong lingering finish.
Song Zhong Zhi Lan Xiang, by contrast, feels more graceful, lifted, and finely detailed. Its floral aroma is slender and elegant, with a refined orchid character, clear structure, and a more delicate, vertical expression.
Tasting them side by side offers a fascinating way to understand how the same Zhi Lan fragrance family can express two very different personalities. We recommend enjoying Ba Xian together with Song Zhong Zhi Lan Xiang for a comparative gong fu cha experience.
