The origin of Phoenix Dancong

Long, long time ago, there was a Golden Phoenix under the Mountain of Chao'an County in Guangdong Province who laid two eggs, then the two eggs were hatched into two young phoenixes. These two were super birds. They trained themselves in the mountains and do good things for people. Where there is a disaster，these two phoenixes will appear. Once the two phoenixes appeared, people could live in peace. The villagers loved them very much and named the mountain as "Phoenix Mountain", thus the tea produced here is called "Phoenix Dancong".
