  I came upon a tea the shop said is Feng Huang and is an oolong, but it is not like the oolong I know like Tieguanyin or Dong Ding, but twiggy brown leaf, like a bigger leaf version of gongfu black tea. Is that an oolong? Why is it so much more expensive than Tieguanyin?

  Hello Betty. I guess you have seen a Phoenix oolong. The Chinese name for that, when romanized, is Fenghuang Dancong. We have a detail explanation of what it is and the variations in this tea. Here are a few related links back to the Tea Guardian site:
