There are obvious differences between Guangdong Phoenix Daffodil and Fujian Wuyi Daffodil in terms of aroma, taste, soup color and leaf bottom: the strips of Phoenix Daffodils are tighter and straighter, and the strips of Wuyi Daffodils are fatter and looser:

The similarities and differences between Wuyi Daffodil and Phoenix Daffodil
Whether it is called "Wuyi Daffodil", or "Northern Fujian Daffodil", or "Jianyang Daffodil", "Jian'ou Daffodil", "Fujian Daffodil", "Shui ji Daffodil", and even including the "Zhangping Daffodil" in southern Fujian, if you count from the tree species, they are all the same tea tree variety, "Daffodil" species, there is a certain origin relationship. If they are used as commercial teas, they are only different in origin, and they are distinguished by the name of the place of origin. And because of the different places of origin and different development routes, the process naturally has subtle differences, and even obvious differences, such as "Zhangping Daffodil", the appearance is four square small blocks, fermentation is lighter.
Therefore, Wuyi Daffodil can refer to both "tea plant varieties" and the name of the commodity "tea", that is, "Northern Fujian Daffodil" tea and "Wuyi Shuixian" tea in the Oolong tea category. At the same time, it can also refer to one of the five major categories of Wuyi rock tea. Wuyi rock tea is divided into five categories: Da Hong Pao, Ming Cong, Daffodil, Cinnamon, and Odd Species. The Phoenix Daffodils in Fenghuang Town, Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, are not the same tree species as Wuyi Daffodils in terms of botanical tree species, although they are called "Daffodils".
In 1984, the National Tea Plant Fine Seed Approval Committee identified a number of national fine seeds, and Fujian Daffodil and Phoenix Daffodil were listed as national fine species with different numbers. Fujian Daffodils are named "GSCT9", and Phoenix Daffodils are numbered "GSCT17". From this point of view, it also shows that the two are two different varieties of tea trees.
Phoenix Narcissus Old Bush has in common:
They are all small trees (individual phoenix single bushes are considered to belong to trees), are medium and large leaf species, the leaf shape is oval, the leaf color is green or dark green, can be made of famous good tea according to the oolong tea or black tea process, and most of them have flower and fruit aromas, orchid fragrance, etc., and both places have a history of living in the She.
Differences:
Wuyi Daffodil, which is triploid, is cloned and cut off; while the Phoenix Daffodil, which is diploid, can reproduce sexually. According to expert research, "phoenix daffodils are closer to the wild type than Fujian (Wuyi) daffodils and are highly resistant to stress." (Zhuang Ren's Chinese Tea Classic. Tea Article")
Wuyi Daffodils are late-growing species at the germination stage, while Phoenix Daffodils are early species. Wuyi Daxian , originating in Dahu Village, Xiaohu Township, Jianyang, Fujian Province; Phoenix Daffodil, native to Fenghuang Mountain, Chao'an, Guangdong, was called "red fungus tea" and "bird's mouth tea" in the early days. Wuyi daffodils, the current market is mostly suitable for making oolong tea, black tea, and white tea; and phoenix daffodils, mainly oolong tea, black tea.
Wuyi Daffodil (Fujian Daffodil) tea leaves
Another important point, phoenix daffodil species, due to the selection of raw materials and the degree of fineness of production, when making commercial tea, according to the quality of the finished product from low to high can be divided into: phoenix daffodil, phoenix wave vegetables and phoenix single bush three grades. Among them, the most famous "Phoenix Single Bush" commercial tea is a high-quality product that uses the excellent single tea plant selected from the Phoenix Narcissus group species and then cultivated, picked and processed. The second is the Phoenix Lang cuisine tea, and the second is the Phoenix Daffodil tea.
That is to say, the phoenix daffodil, like the Wuyi daffodil, is both the name of the tea tree species and the name of the "commodity tea". Therefore, Phoenix Single Bush Tea, from the tree species, it is the Phoenix Daffodil Species! That's right, that's exactly what it is! And Wuyi Daffodil (Fujian Daffodil) and Phoenix Daffodil, the specific academic and botanical order, logical relationship, internal relationship, what "distant relatives" or "close association", which requires the exploration and discovery of tea experts.
