Dan Cong oolongs come from the Phoenix (Fenghuang) Mountain area in Chaozhou, Guangdong, where each type is named for the aroma it is known for. Mi Lan Xiang means “honey orchid fragrance”: the long, dark, twisted leaves brew an amber cup with a honeyed sweetness and a lively floral, fruity aroma. Dan Cong rewards short steeps; long ones can turn it brisk.
