After the first infusion, notes of honey, peach, and orchid come to the fore. A pleasant bitterness emerges, stimulating the palate, followed by a lingering sweetness.
To fully enjoy this multifaceted tea, it's best to use a small teapot or gaiwan. Initially, place approximately 7-10 grams of tea leaves in a teapot preheated with boiling water. The first steeping is done for 5-10 seconds to awaken the tea leaves. Clean, soft water should be no hotter than 90°C (194°F). Gradually increasing the steeping time will allow the tea to withstand 6-7 steepings.
Mi Lan Xiang, a high-mountain oolong tea, is recognized as a unique beverage that promotes peace of mind, invigorates the spirit, and rejuvenates the body. It also increases resistance to stress. Its aroma will warm, relax, and lift your spirits!
