A light bodied, floral tea with a minty undertone and mild spicy notes. This Oolong tea is cultivated in the famous Wuyi mountains of China, where the unique terroir and traditional tea cultivation practices result in an exceptional tasting tea. The name Qi Lan directly translates to “Rare Orchid” and the floral attributes of this tea are often described as orchid- like due to its subtly perfumed quality. Our Qi Lan tea embodies a natural sweetness that is complemented by a slight hint of astringency, which overall creates a balanced and exceptionally pleasing experience. Beautifully presented in a decorative box, Song of Orchid tea leaves are preserved in aluminium sachets to retain its freshness and great quality.
