Mi Lan Dan Cong (Honey Orchid)

Other names: Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea, Feng Huang Dan Cong Tea, Dragon Phoenix, Fenghuang Dan Cong, Shui Xian (nb not Wuyi Shui Xian)

Dan Cong is the champagne of oolongs: ripe with intense fruit and sweetness. This high grade example comes from a plantation on the lower slopes of Wu Dong Mountain, Chao Zhou. The leaves are thoroughly fermented and baked to produce a rich liquor with unique flowery and honeyed notes that can be enjoyed through multiple infusions.

Our Buyer’s notes
“This tea is more heavily baked than the Song Zhong Dan Cong to allow the tea to produce its unique honey and lychee flavours.”

This tea is delicious. Fruity, floral and incredibly light considering what you'd expect when looking at the leaves. Everything about this tea is awesome
