Product code:
CSTW-113
Mr. Huang has mastered the art of aging Chinese Wulong. After regular firings to bring out the character of the leaves, Huang offers this delicious version of the famous Mi Lan Xiang (Honey Orchid Scent) from Guangdong province.
The dry leaves, with their attractive twisted shape, reveal powerful tropical fruit flavours combined with the caramelized sugar aromas from the roasting process. On the palate, the smooth liquor offers sweet notes of ripe peaches, followed by very delicate woody, floral and cereal tastes.
The persistence of this tea is exceptional.
