Mi Lan Xiang, or "Honey Orchid Fragrance," is one of the most revered and iconic varieties of Guangdong's legendary Phoenix Dan Cong oolongs. This tea is celebrated for its remarkably pure, deep, and naturally sweet aromatic profile. Our selection features a masterful medium roast that enhances the tea's structure, adding a rich, rounded body and depth without overshadowing its exquisite floral-core character. The brew is a warm, golden-amber with a dense, satisfying texture. The flavor unfolds in complex layers: the signature note of baked honey is complemented by hints of dried apricot, soft caramel, and aged sandalwood. The finish is exceptionally long, resonant, and clean—a hallmark of high-quality Dan Cong. The cha qi (tea energy) of this Mi Lan Xiang is profound. It is grounding and centering, providing a steady, warming energy that promotes focus, mental clarity, and a deep sense of internal stability. Its effect unfolds gradually and lasts, making it perfect for both mindful tea sessions and as a companion for contemplative work or a tranquil evening.
