My sister gave me this Ginger Flower Oolong as a gift. I had no idea what to expect. The dry leaves didn’t smell like much—but once the water hit, boom: tropical flowers and a faint ginger kick, like the scent after it rains on a garden. It’s not sweet like Mi Lan or soft like Zhi Lan—it’s sharp and elegant. Even my husband, who never drinks tea, said, “That smells like a greenhouse.” Been drinking it every afternoon since.
Never had a tea quite like this. It’s floral, yes—but sharper, livelier. There’s a brightness in the cup that makes it feel like morning sun through windows. First sip gave me ginger flowers and wet bamboo. Super clean. Totally different from the heavier Dan Congs I usually drink.
I’ve tried dozens of Dan Congs over the years, from the classic Mi Lan to rarer things like Ba Xian—but Ginger Lily was totally new to me. Azenbor’s version is absolutely clean: no heavy roast, no muddiness. The fragrance is somewhere between gardenia and fresh-cut ginger root, and the liquor is soft gold, almost glowing. What sets this apart is the texture—it’s silky, not thin. A slow-drinker’s tea. You don’t rush this one. It keeps whispering new things with every steep.
Unexpected favorite. Bright, floral, and kind of spicy in a very subtle way. I like it best grandpa-style in a tall glass—super forgiving, keeps opening up throughout the day. Makes work-from-home feel more like a treat than a chore.
Very floral, but not perfumey. More like… breathing in warm garden air. Subtle ginger aftertaste. It’s different from the usual fruity oolongs I drink, and I kind of love that. Light and refreshing.
