Description

Qi Lan, or "Rare Orchid" in English, is the bush varietal of the Wuyi rock oolong. It has a long twisted dark brown dry leaf, and a very fragrant and fruity taste. The liquor is clear, has creamy texture and a naturally sweet finish. The rich aroma of roasted almond is also reflected in a satisfying aftertaste that lingers in your mouth and nose. It also has hints of raisins, vanilla and orchid. Simply a wonderful tea. 

One packet: 8.3g for a standard gongfu brewing session.

Excellent Qi Lan

"I just finished the second steep of this tea this morning. Excellent tea. Very flavorful. MeiMei only offers the best. This Qi Lan is more oxidized than my other Qi Lan Oolongs and less oxidized than my Qi Lan Black Tea which is also a favorite (from elsewhere). Dry leaves aroma seems to revolve around the slightly smoky roastedness followed by some dry fruit aroma. (just poured third steep) The first impression of the liquor comes from the rich color followed by a floral (orchid-like) aroma. Very creamy. Probably not as well known as some other oolongs but I would highly recommend this Qi Lan."

Cold Brew infusion . .

"Wonderful! Typically drink the White Teas - from Mei Mei but I will def open up my palette as this was better than most oolongs had prior"

— Daniel P. (5/5)

My favorite

"Complex and fragrant. This one is my favorite. It a wuyi but not overly strong on the mineral note. The flower notes are really pleasant and the flavors are not watered down even after the 10th infusion, rather morphed. A truly enjoyable one."

— Anita M. (5/5)

Moderately priced and very flavorful

"A very nice tea that lends itself well to the Gong-Fu style of brewing. The liquor is full bodied, but less earthy than a Tie Guan Yin. It gives a very smooth, I'd say almost silky, sensation as you drink it with no bitterness, at all. The flavor notes, to me, are of chocolate; similar to a Ruby Oolong from Thailand. The presentation is quite even with flavor starting and finishing on much the same note. I use a steeping time of 30 seconds for the first two steepings and a minute for the next two with good results. Because the tea is not tightly rolled and leaf expansion is minimal, I fill my Gong-fu teapot half full of tea and get a very nice cup. This was my first purchase from Mei Mei and I'll certainly be back."
