Milan Scented Liu-An Black (Red)
Hello, everyone,
A while ago I posted a query regarding a red tea I had purchased in Oakland Chinatown with weird little, teeny-weeny yellow seed-like things in it. I hadn't a clue what they were. Yesterday, arrives a box from Jing's. Actually, a replacement box since two never seemed to get to Berkeley. It was, of course, full of exciting pu-erhs;but, the real treat was this small packet of Miulan Scented Black Aged Anhui Liu-An that Jing and Sebastien had scented themselves. Needless to say, I was really thrilled that at long last, I recognized this familiar fragrance and flavour and it has a name - Milan Flowers. The tea itself is old (1995), an Anhui Liu-An Basket. It has robust chi and lingers on the palate with a fierce numbing that is tempered by the orange-blossom taste of these sweet flowers. I'm not a flowers with tea fan; but, I must say this is some tea. Fatigue caused me to let the cup sit for a while and cool down. It's remarkable that this tea is actually bolder and more complex cool. Anyway, if Sebastien has any more available, I'd highly recommend it for a powerfully floral relief from Jasmine. It does shimmy in the mouth and then into the spirit with a really courageous chi! Shen |

I'll assume these are the same characters for Milan meaning honey
orchid. I'll keep an eye out the next time I go to Chinatown. I'm always looking for dried flowers for my teas.

And actually, the tea itself that I got from Jing's is an aged green, not black as I presumed. I think that the Chinatown version, (which was very cheap, btw) was called "Eight or Ten Treasure Tea". I think it may have been the power of the aged tea that made Jing's version so perfect. Shen |
