While Phoenix oolongs are generally less known than their Taiwanese or Wuyi cousins,
they’ve quietly become some of our favorite teas to drink in the early fall months.
They have that balance of floral and mineral — soft enough to unwind with, but still bright enough to remind you you’re alive.
If you’ve ever had a cheaper roasted oolong that left you feeling off...
heavy in the stomach or foggy in the head...
you’re not alone.
We feel like a lot of lower priced teas(in the 10–25¢ per gram range) just aren’t roasted with the same care, and no matter how nice they taste or smell,
they eventually find their way to the back of the tea shelf.
That’s why we’re so excited about these teas.
Needle may not go as deep as the $1/gram dancongs, but it doesn’t need to.
It’s clean, balanced, and surprisingly refined for its price — an easy daily drinker and the perfect entry point for exploring Phoenix oolongs.
This one, the Needle, is the second of a trio we’re releasing this year.
Woodsy, pine-ee, and with a gentle bit of minerality that leaves a breath of tingle after each sip.
This one reminds us of those crisp late fall camping trips while keeping our mouths salivating (literally, we're not just saying it to sound good)
and wanting to grab for the next sip.
