Product Details
Experience the very first breath of the 2026 tea season. Sourced from the high-altitude slopes of Guangdong’s Phoenix Mountain (Fenghuang Shan), this "Head-Harvest" (头采) Mi Lan Xiang represents the absolute earliest and most prized buds of the year. While the mountain air is still crisp, these young leaves are hand-plucked at their peak of vitality to capture an unmatched aromatic intensity.
Artisan Craftsmanship
True to its heritage, this 2026 vintage undergoes a meticulous process of moderate oxidation and traditional charcoal roasting. This precise artistry transforms the raw spring energy into the signature "Honey-Orchid" profile—a sophisticated harmony of wild floral notes and deep, nectar-like sweetness.
Sensory Profile
Appearance: Tightly twisted, dark obsidian leaves with a faint emerald heart, signaling their fresh spring origin.
Aroma: An immediate, soaring fragrance of blooming orchids and sun-ripened stone fruit.
Taste: The liquor is a brilliant, crystalline gold. It coats the palate with a silky texture, offering layers of mountain honey, lychee, and fresh floral undertones.
Finish: A powerful Hui Gan (sweet aftertaste) that lingers long after the cup is empty, a testament to its high-mountain terroir.
Brewing Ritual
To fully unlock the "High Mountain Charm" (Shan Yun) of the 2026 harvest:
Teaware: Porcelain Gaiwan (recommended for aroma) or Yixing Purple Clay.
Water: 95°C – 100°C (203°F – 212°F).
Leaf-to-Water Ratio: 7g – 8g per 150ml.
The Awakening: A flash-rinse (1–2 seconds) to awaken the compressed spring leaves.
Steeping: 1st – 3rd Infusion: 10 seconds (Focus on the floral "top notes").
4th – 8th Infusion: Increase by 5–10 seconds (Watch the honey sweetness deepen).
Longevity: This first-pick grade easily sustains 10+ aromatic infusions.
Preservation
To maintain the vibrant "Spring Spirit" of this tea, store in a cool, dry place in its original sealed packaging. For those who wish to preserve the high floral notes for more than six months, refrigerated storage in an airtight, odor-free container is highly recommended.
