Phoenix Oolong Honey Orchid (Mi Lan Xiang Dan Cong)

Sourced from Mount Phoenix, the birthplace of "gongfucha" and home to over 70 varieties of dan cong, this tea is a true taste of Southern China.

Our Honey Orchid tea is made from spring-harvested maocha grown at an altitude of 600 meters. The leaves undergo a slightly heavier oxidation and a second firing with charcoal, overseen by a tea science researcher with 25 years of experience. The result is a light copper-colored liquor with a shine and a high note of orchid on the nose.

Enjoy the interesting and quickly fading astringency, leaving a ripe pear taste on your cheeks and at the back of your throat. For a unique tasting experience, we recommend comparing this tea to our Scarlet Robe, its very distant cousin from Wuyi Mountain.

To brew, use a small pot or gaiwan with 100°C water and steep for 30 seconds. You can enjoy four or more infusions of this delicious tea.
