I selected ORCHID OOLONG from the stocks of a grower/producer in Guandong province in southern China. We (I was with Wing-chi Ip, of Lock Cha Tea shop in Hong Kong and Rick Mindermann), visited gardens on Phoenix Mountains for two days, saw the production of the spring harvest of two different Dan Cong teas, and selected this one, his Lanhua Xiang or Orchid Scent oolong. This is another type of Dan Cong oolong, with a different scent. It is less forceful, very light yet present, hence its name of “orchid scented.” Rarer than most Dan Cong oolongs, it is noted for its delicacy and honied character.
