dry leaf
Twisted, silver-green leaves with a scattering of downy buds. Dry fragrance of wild orchid, honey, and a faint trace of camphor.
wet leaf
Leaves open into full, dark green panels. Warm, steamed-vegetal scent with a whisper of toasted grain and wet forest floor.
liquor
Pale golden-yellow, crystal clear. Light dances on the surface, almost oil-like at later infusions.
aroma
High and penetrating from the cup: fresh osmanthus, cooling mint, and deep woody notes reminiscent of old camphor trees.
taste
Immediate, gripping bitterness coats the tongue, then melts steadily into a thick sweetness. The body is full, almost chewy, with a vibrant, mouth-coating texture.
finish
Long, lingering huigan — a persistent honeyed sweetness in the throat. Cooling sensation that stays for minutes, with gentle salivation.
