芝兰香 literally means "Zhi Lan Orchid Aroma". Zhi Lan orchids are thick and sweet with an especially pungent aroma. Our Zhi Lan Xiang Dan Cong was grown in Feng Xi Mao Er Village in the Wu Dong mountains (Guangdong). The aroma when brewed at first reminds us of cured cannabis flowers and orchids. The taste is thick and pungent, with sweetness and little or no astringency. The tea has a nice body and seems to expand in the mouth. The after-taste is noticeable and long with a soothing lubricating effect on the mouth and throat. Roast level: Light to Medium Harvest time: Late April - Early May Area: Feng Xi Mao Er Village in Wu Dong Shan (Guangdong)
