Honey Aroma (蜜香, mìxiāng) is a natural flavor note commonly found in high-quality black teas from [Shaoguan](https://shaoguantea.com/glossary/shaoguan/), particularly those made from wild ancient trees. It presents as a sweet, nectar-like fragrance reminiscent of wildflower honey.
In [Luokeng](https://shaoguantea.com/glossary/luokeng/) teas, honey aroma develops naturally when tea leaves are harvested from mature ancient trees (100+ years old) growing at high altitudes, where the combination of cool mountain temperatures, morning mist, and biodiversity-rich soil enhances the leaf’s natural sugar content.
