(Send from USA)1961 Honey Orchid （Mi Lan Xiang蜜兰香）Phoenix Mountain Oolong Tea (only baked 1 time) 3g teaIn 1961 one of our current grower's Grandmother was in charge of their family's tea trees and wasn't able to sell out that year's Honey Orchid tea. She stored the rest in a ceramic pot hoping for better luck the next year. However when the '62 harvest came in that's all anyone wanted. So she continued storing the tea untouched save for her yearly tastings. The tea went from fresh floral flavors to deeply caramelized flavors then finally to where it is
