We usually see raised eyebrows from those trying this tea for the first time, shocked by the captivating natural fruitiness of this style. Descended from a long line of Phoenix Shui Xian tea trees, Mi Lan Xiang means "Honey Orchid Fragrance." This tea was gathered in April from an old grove sitting 950+ meters above sea level on Wudong Mountain in the Phoenix Mountain Range. Our Mi Lan Xiang is crafted in the “Nong Xiang” style, where the leaves are oxidized to at least 30% then given repeat roasts until the honey-like aroma and flavor is brought forth. The resulting tea is sweet, with a remarkably aromatic profile of lychee fruit and wildflower honey. 1g per 1oz at 210°F for 30s Delicious and utterly captivating when brewed well, Phoenix Oolongs are susceptible to high tannin levels, which can result in an astringent texture. To control this, we recommend a flash brewing method, which means a high water temperature and very short infusion time. This fast, high-temperature brewing method quickly extracts aroma and flavor before the tea has time to release excess bitterness or astringency.
