Top Suppliers Wuyishan Dahongpao Tea - China Oolong Mi Lan Xiang Dan Cong – Goodtea

This Milan Xiang is a medium-roasted dancong from the Phoenix Mountain.
A kind flowery tea with a relaxed warming effect. While its fragrance is an interesting mixture of cocoa, roasted nuts and papaya, the main taste profile is dominated by notes of honey and citrus. The long aftertaste has a sweet, slightly jasmine-like character, which remains in the mouth for a good half an hour.
The well-known phoenix oolongs are famous for their impressive fragrance and long-lasting, round, creamy flavour.

The term dancong (单枞) originally meant phoenix teas all picked from one tree. In recent times though it has become a generic term for all Phoenix Mountain (凤凰山, Fenghuang) oolongs. The dancongs’ name, as it does in this case too, often refers to a certain scent.

Gong fu brewing with spring water or filtered water is recommended. Dan Congs brew best with more dry leaf, shorter steeps and less water. Place 7gr of dry leaf in your 140ml standard gaiwan. Douse the leaves with boiling hot water just covering them. Steep 1-2 seconds only pouring them off into your reservoir. The important thing is to let it cool to a comfortable temperature before you start sipping. Gradually increase time with each steep. Repeat as long as the leaves hold up.
