Guangdong Phoenix Oolong - Mi Lan Xiang (100+ Year Old Tree)

This "Mi Lan Xiang" (Honey Orchid Fragrance) represents the pinnacle of Phoenix Dan Cong oolongs. Sourced from the leaves of a single tea tree over 100 years old, this tea achieves an exceptional concentration of flavor and aroma. The brew is dense, saturated, and unfolds brilliantly from the very first infusion.
The dry leaf is long and elegant, exuding a potent honeyed-floral fragrance. The liquor is a radiant golden-amber. The flavor is an intense and captivating symphony of liquid honey, blooming orchids, and a lush tropical sweetness, all underpinned by a subtle mineral depth from the ancient roots. The finish is remarkably long, aromatic, and sweet.
The effect is a hallmark of high-grade, old-tree Dan Cong. This tea induces a pronounced and euphoric state of "tea drunkenness"—characterized by mental clarity, a lifted mood, and a powerful surge of internal energy. It's a potent, uplifting experience typical of the venerable old trees of Fenghuang.
This tea possesses exceptional stamina, capable of yielding around 20 richly aromatic and flavorful infusions while maintaining its signature density and character.
Brewing Recommendation for Precision:

• Water Temperature: 95–98 °C (203–208 °F)
• Tea Amount: 5-6 grams per 100-150 ml (a gaiwan is ideal)
• Steeping Time: Begin with a flash rinse. First infusion: 7-10 seconds. Use very short, Gongfu-style steeps, increasing time by mere seconds for subsequent infusions to fully explore its marathon session.

A masterpiece of aroma and potency for the discerning oolong enthusiast.
