Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong Old Tree Honey Orchid Mi Lan Xiang

This tea hails from Wudong Mountain — the revered core growing region and birthplace of Phoenix Dan Cong. The leaves are harvested from trees aged 30 to 80 years, known as “old single-tree” Dan Cong. Harvested only in the spring, old-tree Dan Cong yields exceptional quality and layered complexity. 

Mi Lan Xiang, meaning “Honey Orchid Fragrance,” is known for its balanced combination of honeyed sweetness and gentle orchid notes. Tea connoisseurs often describe it poetically as “rich honey with hidden orchid.” A distinguished Mi Lan Xiang, however, depends not only on origin, but also on masterful craftsmanship. Achieving a pronounced honey character requires meticulous control during roasting, where the tea master carefully coaxes out depth without overwhelming its floral grace. 

The dry leaves are slender and gently curved, green-brown with a soft sheen and distinctive red edges from partial oxidation. Even before brewing, they exude a natural honeyed aroma. The liquor is clear and golden, rich yet fresh, smooth and mellow. A lingering sweetness rises in the throat, while the fragrance gently permeates the mouth, creating a refined and deeply satisfying tea experience.
