From TheTea

One of the best non single tree Dancong we have ever tasted.

This top quality roasted Mi Lan Xiang Dancong (Honey Orchid) was produced from old bushes (more than 90yrs old) growing without chemicals near Li Zai Ping village. Very small batch: we have only less than 2kg.

Powerful tea with amazing energy! Because of quite high roasting level it’s suitable for long term storage.

Taste: honey, pine resin, ripe mango and passion fruit with hints of nutty/malty notes.

Origin: Li Zai Ping Village, Wudongshan, Guangdong, China

Harvest: May.2019

Cultivar/Tree Variety: Mi Lan Xiang- honey orchid (from Shuixian crossbreeding)

[Spring 2019 harvest]

This one has a classic MLX aroma at first – sweet, perfumy with a hint of cake scent. Once wet, the leaves smell like drinking hot apple and smoking shisha next to a clean fireplace in a wooden cabin.

The liquor has a slick, colloidal and not too thick texture with mild bubbliness. It is numbing and I find it actually very easy to drink, especially before some mild astringency arrives around steep #4.

The taste is also super smooth. It is more savoury and mineral than the average MLX and reminds me of hot apple cider at times. There are also flavours of apricots, ghee, wet rocks, molasses and caramelized carrots. In the warming aftertaste, I also get a hint of wild honey.
