Mi Lan Xiang Dancong (Honey Orchid Aroma) oolong tea 100g for daily use (2025 spring)

Fenghuang Dancong (Mi Lan Xiang)|凤凰单枞蜜兰香
Introduction

Mi Lan Xiang Dancong is one of the most celebrated Phoenix Dancong oolongs, known for its naturally rich honey-orchid aroma. The medium-twisted, dark dry leaves brew into a golden amber liquor, offering a full-bodied taste with layers of floral and fruity sweetness. Its nectar-like smoothness lingers across multiple infusions, with a refreshing aftertaste that deepens as you brew.

This tea comes from a village located in one of the premium zones for Zhongshan Dancong—an area recognized by locals as the gateway to the high-mountain growing region. Teas from this zone are considered top-grade among commercial Dancongs, offering exceptional quality for the price. The tea is crafted by a seasoned tea maker from a family with a long tradition of tea-making, with over 20 years of hands-on experience.
