- Description
- Mi Lan Xiang (蜜兰香, Honey Orchid Aroma) Dancong is one of the most popular Dancong oolong teas, celebrated for its sweet honey aftertaste and bright orchid aroma. It is the most common Dancong oolong tea on the market due to its high production volume among all Dancong varieties in Chaozhou. This tea's picking standard includes buds and two to three leaves of the Mi Lan Xiang tea trees. Through oxidation and multiple roastings, the careful processing enhances the tea's delicious honey orchid taste, offering a sensory experience that combines the best of both fruit and floral elements. This traditionally processed Mi Lan Xiang brings out its characteristic honey orchid flavor. The dry leaves are dark brown, producing a bright golden yellow liquor when brewed. The tea is mellow and deep, with a long-lasting aftertaste. Its balanced sweetness and floral notes make it a favorite among tea enthusiasts.

Everything’s just peachy with this one! Classic notes of honey and orchid overlayed with the sweetness of peach and lychee gummies. Delicious!
