Mi Lan Xiang Dancong (Honey Orchid Fragrance)

This oolong from Guangdong, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This Phoenix Oolong offers a symphony of honeyed sweetness intertwined with the delicate aroma of orchids. Its smooth, rich liquor unfolds with a complex interplay of ripe stone fruits and a lingering. It sits in the "Honey" and "Floral" and "Sweet" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans honey and floral and sweet.

Aim for water around 85–95 °C (185–205 °F). Western style: steep for 3–4 minutes in a mug or teapot. Gongfu style: use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–30 s infusions (8–15 steeps) for multiple short steeps — this way you can taste how the flavor evolves. Roasted oolongs can handle higher temps — don't be afraid of boiling water for heavy roasts.

This oolong is grown in Guangdong, China.
