Phoenix Mt. Wudong Dancong Oolong Mi Lan Xiang "Honey Orchid" 2011 Spring Imperial Song Variety Tea belongs to the honey aroma category of Dancong oolongs
Our Mi Lan Xiang is sourced directly from tea farmers living in Mt Wudong. Only the high-mountain Mi Lan Xiang has the honey but floral aroma and taste. It has a delicate and sweet note, with a long-lasting aftertaste that is pleasantly sweet. This tea can bear up to a high number of infusions and can compete with good Pu-erh tea in that respect. This tea is also part of our sampler pack.
Dancong Oolong tea is famous for its floral fragrance and long-lasting sweetness. In addition, the tea soup thickness is a characteristic sought after by many tea connoisseurs.
This tea is a high-roasted tea. You may store it at normal temperature for a long time. As an aged tea, this oolong has a better medical effect and is commonly drunk by local people.
All of our Dancong is sourced directly from tea farmers. My tea supplier personally visits the farmers and selects the teas.
