dry leaf
Dark green, silver-tipped twisted leaves, tightly compressed. Aroma of warm hay, dried apricot, and a whisper of smoke.
wet leaf
Leaves unfurl to uniform olive-bronze, releasing scents of steamed grain, wild orchid, and damp forest floor.
liquor
Bright pale gold with a greenish rim, crystal clear after the first infusion.
aroma
White peach, melon rind, and toasted rice, lifted by a cooling menthol note.
taste
Moderate bitterness arrives first, then quickly pivots to a succulent stone-fruit sweetness with a creamy mouthfeel. Cantaloupe and honey emerge mid-palate.
finish
Lingering *huigan*, soft astringency, and a refreshing coolness in the throat — the aftertaste is long, clean, and minerally.
