Phoenix Honey Orchid Oolong
High in the Fenghuang Mountains of Guangdong Province, tea farmers have cultivated a remarkable family of single-cultivar oolongs for centuries, each named for the aromas they carry down from the peaks. This is the Honey Orchid Phoenix, or Mi Lan Xiang, a tea so fragrant that it needs little adornment. The large, twisted brown leaves steep into a pale, luminous cup with a gentle sweetness that opens slowly, serving wildflower honey first, then a soft bloom of orchid, fading like the end of a long, quiet afternoon. Light-bodied and graceful, it is a tea that rewards patience and a little stillness. Some teas demand your attention with bold flavors. This one simply asks for your time and repays it generously. Brew a cup at your desk or settle in for an unhurried evening ritual. At Harney & Sons, we hold the belief that the finest teas are not exclusive to special occasions. They are the occasion.
