– Tell me, wise old man, is there a tea that could compare in its fragrance to a beautiful flower?
– Yes, there is, your Highness. It’s called Mi Lan Xiang Dan Cong Oolong, and it possesses an outstanding Orchid Aroma as well as the sweetness of honey. Drinking the tea is like sipping the sweet sap of Heaven.
