凤凰单枞茶 (Phoenix Dancong Oolong Tea)
Dinner @ "郑厨私房菜", a home-style restaurant, opened by the Chairman of the Chaozhou Culinary Institute, himself the son of one of Chaozhou's 4 famed chefs of the past. Tucked away at a hard-to-locate corner of the city, I absolutely love the humour of the sign outside the restaurant stating "酒香不怕巷子深" (If the food and wine are good; one is not afraid to venture down deep alleys for them)
This is the favourite tea of this region. It is a type of Oolong tea - a lightly fermented tea. It has a quite bitter aftertaste but has a slightly phenolic sweet note, which some folks describing it as "peach-like" or "longan-like". It is purported to be able to wash away "oil and grease" in the stomach and thus, is good for digestion.
