dry leaf
Slender buds and young leaves, downy silver-green — aroma of sweet chestnut, fresh hay, and a hint of cucumber.
wet leaf
Unfurling to bright spring green, leaves are tender and uniform, with a scent of steamed green peas and lilac.
liquor
Pale champagne with a fine, cloudy haze — reminiscent of jade dust in morning light, perfectly clear despite the particles.
aroma
Soft and vegetal — sweetcorn silk, raw edamame, and a whisper of chestnut blossom.
taste
Silky and round, with immediate umami sweetness rolling into crisp vegetal notes of young bean and artichoke heart. No bitterness, just a clean, calm presence.
finish
Lingers softly with a returning sweetness (huí gān) and a fresh, clean mouthfeel — the aftertaste is cool and slightly mineral.
