Phoenix Dancong- Honey Orchid Fragrance (Mi Lan Xiang)

Oolong Tea by Peony Tea S.

Hanyu Pinyin:

feng huang dan cong – mi lan xiang

Production area:

Phoenix Mountain, Chaozhou, Guangdong

Harvest time:

Spring 2012

Summary:

Honey Orchid Fragrance is probably the most well-known and popular in the entire Phoenix Dancong family and not without good reason. As its name suggests, it has that honey sweetness and flora fragrance.

Aficionados often refer to good Phoenix Dancongs (like ours) as having a 山韵 or ‘mountain aura’. Savor the dancong and as the sweet aftertaste lingers long after the last drop trickles down your throat, it feels as though you are breathing the refreshing mountain air.

Taste:

Hint of bitterness but the sweetness quickly permeates your entire mouth and throat and lingers soothingly

Liquor:

Clear golden orange liquor

Personality :

You may not notice her immediately but not long after your initial encounter you will never forget her.

She is gentle and sweet but has an enduring and endearing quality about her that stays on.
