Category
Under the general name "Qi Lan" exist several related but distinct cultivars:
Type
Oolong (semi-oxidized tea). Oxidation level 15–40% — from light to medium, depending on regional style.
Taste
Dry Leaf Appearance
Longitudinally twisted "strips," dark green with brownish tones. More compact than Rou Gui or Shui Xian — reflecting small-leaf nature of cultivar.
Dry Leaf Aroma
Orchid against backdrop of minerality, warm nutty and light smoky notes of medium roasting.
Liquor Aroma
Multi-layered — orchid + stone + toasted almond + honey. Minerality gives aroma "depth" and "weight" absent in Pinghe version.
Liquor Color
Golden-amber, deep and transparent.
Spent Leaves
Small leaves with red-brown edges and greenish center.
Taste
Full, oily, with mineral foundation (岩韵, Yán Yùn). Orchid + walnut + chestnut honey. Aftertaste — long, mineral, with slowly returning sweetness. Body — medium to full.
