Long time fan, love your site and videos, such an incredible resource! Wondering though if this is meant to be written as “Qilan” and not “Qidan”? I don’t see any Qidan’s on the Wuyi Origin site, but I do see a Qilan (orchid) 奇兰.
Best,
Morgan
Good question! Actually it’s Qidan, one of the cultivars that’s sometimes marketed as Dahongpao. I believe it is sold out for 2016 which is probably why it isn’t listed!
Really loved this episode about Wuyi Qidan! Keep up the great work
