Honey Orchard (Mi Lan) Dong Cong is known for its harmonious blend of sweet floral and earthy notes. In Mandarin, Mi Lan translates to “Honey Orchid,” which reflects the tea’s lightly floral flavor that inspired this name. This tea is cultivated on the Feng An farm in Chaoan, Guangdong Province, China.

Insider Tip: Marco Polo first named the fruit “coconut” because he thought the three dark holes at its base resembled a grinning face, which in Portuguese is “coco. ” Despite their friendly
appearance, falling coconuts claim an average of 150 lives yearly. Ironically, the coconut tree is regarded by many as the tree of life, as every part of a coconut and the tree itself can be utilized
and play a crucial role in tropical ecosystems.

Learn More: Teas can be flavored in several ways, using ingredients such as flowers, nuts, or berries; oils or extracts like citrus or vanilla; or even artificial flavors. Once added to a base tea, these ingredients are blended using various methods, either in large batches with a blending machine or in small batches by hand. Some teas are flavored during processing, like Lapsang Souchong, which is smoked over pine fires during drying. At Infusing I AM, we take pride in hand-blending many of our teas, carefully calculating our blends, and selecting only the finest teas and ingredients for our collection.
