This tea belongs to the Feng Huang Dan Cong Wu Long tradition.
This Spring 2025 tea comes from Ping Keng Tou in Feng Huang Shan. For lovers of crisp peach, it makes the connection immediately: the cultivar’s fine tannins melt into notes of peach skin and flowers over Ping Keng Tou’s characteristic buttery texture. Its name means “Honey Peach,” and the retronasal aroma brings that name into focus. Less fruity than Bai Ye, it is expressive without overwhelming.

The making
The freshly picked leaves are sun-wilted until soft, then moved indoors to continue wilting. Through the night, the leaves are shaken and rested to guide fermentation. In the morning, they undergo Sha Qing, applying high temperature to lock the tea at the desired fermentation stage. During Zuo Xing, or shape making, the leaves are rolled into string shape and baked dry. After the old stems and yellow leaves are picked out, the tea is slowly charcoal roasted.
How to brew
History & significance
Mi Tao Xiang means “Honey Peach.” It belongs to the single-cultivar and fragrance-style names that have become prominent in Feng Huang Wu Long in recent decades. Here, Mi Tao Xiang is the cultivar’s name, not a flavor added to the tea.
