Origin & Terroir of Mi Lan Xiang (Light-Roasted)
Tea Origin (Fenghuang Town, Chaozhou, Guangdong)
This Light-Aroma Mi Lan Xiang Fenghuang Dancong comes from the core tea area of Fenghuang Town, Chao’an District, Chaozhou, Guangdong—the birthplace of Fenghuang Dancong / Phoenix Dan Cong oolong. Mi Lan Xiang (Honey Orchid) is known for its signature “floral aroma with honeyed sweetness,” and the light-aroma style highlights clarity and freshness.
With a lighter roast, the fragrance leans toward bright florals with a clear honeyed note. The liquor is clean and refreshing, the entry is crisp, and the sweet aftertaste arrives quickly and clearly, finishing with a light, lingering “honey resonance.” It’s ideal for drinkers who love highly aromatic, refreshing Dancong oolong.
Our Selection Focus (Light-Aroma Mi Lan Xiang)
We don’t lock sourcing to one specific farmer or a single tea garden, because quality can shift from year to year with climate, picking, and processing details.
Each harvest season, our sourcing manager gathers many samples through multiple channels and repeatedly tests and tastes them. In the end, we select the lot with a higher, cleaner aroma, a purer honeyed finish, and a more refreshing, long-drinking profile.
