2019 Spring Song Dynasty Old Bush Milan Dancong

Currently unavailable

We don't know when or if this item will be available.

This year the old bush milan is richer in cha qi and mineral than last year. We process the leaves to a light roast level. Comparing to last year batch which was medium roasted. This time, its strong cha qi and minerals from the old bush are well reflected in the amber liqour with a light caramel sweetness which keeps us steeping for an hour.

Mi Lan Xiang means ‘honey orchid fragrance’ and is one of the famous types of Phoenix dan cong. Titled with Song dynasty mean the tea leaf are from a mother tree older than 300 years. The tea has a characteristic honey aroma and orchid flavor, giving it this name; these flavors are wonderfully blended together in the tea, making it an exceptional treat.

Upon drinking, our mouth is filled with the natural aroma of the leaves, like an elegant perfume. Because of this, many tea lovers say that dan cong is a kind of drinkable perfume; when savoring the tea, the taste is mellow and smooth with a strong, sweet aftertaste, the sweet honey and elegant orchid flavors mixing perfectly with the mountain minerality to build a totally unique drinking experience. Drinking this tea in a purple clay teapot can better bring out the unique flavors of this tea, and make its aroma and flavor more vivid. Compared to our Ya Shi Xianh ( DuckPooh) Dancong Oolong, Song Dynasty Milan has a stabler aroma, with a richer, fuller thickness and flavor.
