Mi Lan Xiang (aka Honey Orchid Aroma) Dan Cong is the most well-known Dan Cong style. Bai Ye varietal is used and was expertly processed over a period of four months to give it a special thick, sweet and floral (orchid) aroma. The leaves are larger and broader than many other varietals and the finished dry leaf is a deep brown color. The brewed leaves are also more brown (and less green) than most other Dan Cong oolongs. This higher degree of oxidation due to roasting brings out the delicious honey and orchid taste. When you experience the wonderful taste keep in mind it's all due to the skill of the master who lovingly processed this tea into something so special and delicious!

Our Classic "Mi Lan Xiang" is a medium level of roast, with a robust taste of fruit and honey, and a lingering Orchid taste/aroma. It's grown naturally at an altitude of 550 meters in the Wu Dong Mountains.

This is a medium level of roast, classic style of processing.

Serviceable!

"Pretty good! The higher grade version packed a more flavorful punch, but this one does the job for a bit less."

Max Delicious

"This is an A+ tea. It has many complex floral tones. I'm not into subtle, and this tea is not subtle, it is strong, thick, and very flavorful. I steep it American style: 3. 4 grams of tea in 270ml of 190F (88C)."

— Rhett D. (5/5)

Not my favourite

"I'm not crazy about this Dan Cong. I don't find it that interesting or complex... I don't know if it's the oxidation but I find it to taste a bit flat and astringent."

— Éloïse (2/5)

A classic, deservedly so ...

"Mi Lan Xiang has been a favourite of mine for decades and this year's harvest has not changed that. Lovely taste of fruit and the expected orchid aroma are present. It's a classic, no more needs to be said!"

— Peter S. (5/5)

I bought the Duck Shit

"I bought the Duck Shit Favor, it tastes very raw, like green tea. Doesn't feel right."

— Sylvia Y. (3/5)

Q&A

This looks reasonably price. Is it known whether pesticides were used?
The grower says it's no spray, but we have not tested it in a lab.
As far as I know, all Dan Cong Oolong are harvested and processed in late may... This definitely cannot be a 2020 tea... Fortunately, These delicious teas, improve over time!!
Dan Cong is harvested from March until May.
