Commonly referred to as “Honey-Orchid”, this famous Dancong oolong is known for being the “perfume” of teas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Tianyou tea garden is run less like a single-crop plantation than a self-contained ecosystem: intercropped forest trees shade the tea plants, regulate humidity, and shelter the spiders, dragonflies, and lady beetles that keep pest pressure down without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or growth hormones. This is an approach our producing partners at Tianyou describe as \"ecology as the root, agronomy as the foundation, scientific pest control as the supplement.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis lot is spring-picked from 70-to-80-year-old Baiye (white-leaf) Dancong trees at a one-bud, two-to-three-leaf standard, and it's named for its cultivar and flavor profile alike: mi lan xiang, \"honey orchid fragrance.\" Processing follows the traditional Fenghuang dancong method, but with a signature \"fewer rounds, heavier tumble\" shaking (yaoqing) technique. The leaves are shaken less often but more intensely, then rested on racks between rounds. That extra rest keeps the leaves from stewing in a pile, which would mute the tea; instead it locks in a fresher, brisker profile and lets aroma and flavor fully integrate into the liquor rather than sit on top of it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis process creates a delicate orchid fragrance layered over a warm, honeyed sweetness. Expect a bold but smooth mouthfeel, the mineral \"mountain rhyme\" (shanyun) typical of high-elevation Dancong, and a long, honeyed finish that builds across the session (No wonder Fenghuang is home to Gongfu!). The liquor runs bright orange-gold, clear and glossy; the dry leaf is tightly curled and lustrous brown-black, and the spent leaves come out soft, uniform, and bright.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/strong\u003e — Spring '26\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dancong (mi lan xiang)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCULTIVAR\u003c\/strong\u003e — Baiye dancong \/ Mi lan xiang (\"honey orchid\") \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREGION\u003c\/strong\u003e — Chaozhou, Guangdong, China\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLOCALE\u003c\/strong\u003e — Tianyou Ecological Tea Garden \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELEVATION \u003c\/strong\u003e— 1000 meters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e — Chaozhou Tianyou Tea Industry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOMENCLATURE\u003c\/strong\u003e — mi (蜜)—\"honey\" | lan (兰)—\"orchid\" | xiang (香)—\"fragrance\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(146, 124, 78);\"\u003eSTEEPING PARAMETERS\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(use freshly boiled spring water)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e modern, large format \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[300 ml+ vessel — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hugotea.com\/collections\/tea-tools\/products\/tea-pot-boli-400-ml\" title=\"BOLI\"\u003eBOLI\u003c\/a\u003e, large teapot]\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 5 grams — 195°F (90°C) — 2 minutes \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003etraditional, small format\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e[150 ml- vessel — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hugotea.com\/collections\/tea-tools\/products\/gaiwan-hugo\" title=\"Gaiwan\"\u003egaiwan\u003c\/a\u003e, small teapot] \u003cbr\u003e6 grams — 195°F (90°C) — 15 seconds \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e+10-15 seconds each additional steep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hugo Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"RETAIL BOX - loose leaf 40g","offer_id":67635943276845,"sku":"X-U15","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BULK PACK - loose leaf 200g","offer_id":67635943309613,"sku":"B-U15","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SAMPLE","offer_id":67635943342381,"sku":"S-U15","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0178\/6381\/files\/2_4d23461b-d57a-422e-b289-1d00de579fc0.png?v=1792606937","url":"https:\/\/www.hugotea.com\/products\/tianyous-perfume-honey-orchid-oolong","provider":"Hugo Tea Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
