Description

Notes of honey, black pepper flowers, and sandalwood.
From the Phoenix mountain range in Guandong, China, this delicious oolong imparts delicate floral fragrances with a sweetness and bright woodiness of sandalwood. This tea is a real treasure, and I love brewing it on a quiet, early morning.

This type of oolong, mi lan xiang, translates as honey-orchid fragrance, and is in the broader category of dancong oolong, which means single bush oolong. There are many ~12 different types of dancong oolong that are primarily named after their fragrances (xiang) for which they are cultivated.

Brew this tea with 185’F water for 1 minute, increase brewing time and temp with additional infusions.
