This Dancong oolong set offers a unique opportunity to compare the effect of various roast levels applied to the same tea, highlighting different qualities at each level. The base material for these teas comes from a high-altitude garden (800-1000m) in the Pheonix Mountain range, and comes with organic certifications by EU, US, Chinese and Japanese certifying bodies. Made from 70+ year old trees with deep roots, these teas have the benefit of coming from unique terroir that is rich in volcanic soil and grown in a biodiverse environment, as opposed to a mono-culture plantation. While each tea maintains ties to its Milanxiang roots, as well as a mineral character due to the terroir, the effect of each roasting level is pronounced. This listing is for the light roast version of this tea: Floral notes are the dominant quality in this tea, with a honey sweetness coming through too. While it displays typical Milanxiang qualities, this tea is more refined and elegant than the darker roasts. Soft, but strong, this tea is made from higher grade (bud heavy) Xuepian. It also offers a pleasant cooling sensation in the throat, as well as a lasting fragrance. $0.79-0.86/gram Varietal: Milanxiang/蜜兰香/Honey Orchid Fragrance Region: Shuangjiniang Shan, Guangdong Altitude: 800-1000m
