dry leaf
Three discuses wrapped in faintly ink-stamped paper — Yiwu’s silver-tipped twists, Bulang’s wide dark-olive blades, Jingmai’s downy silver buds against black-brown borders.
wet leaf
Yiwu releases a warm hay-honey scent, Bulang a deep root-vegetable and camphor steam, Jingmai a fleeting floral mist after rinse.
liquor
Pale champagne for Yiwu, deepening to amber for Bulang, Jingmai a clear golden mist.
aroma
A chorus of stone-fruit preserve, camphor, and damp-forest undergrowth — Bulang strikes first, Yiwu lingers, Jingmai floats through.
taste
Yiwu: cane sugar, ripe pear, soft humid sweetness. Bulang: bitter arrowroot, toasted almond, sustained salivation. Jingmai: lychee, mountain honey, mineral finish.
finish
Lasting cooling sensation and floral huigan, with Bulang’s quiet bitterness giving way to Jingmai’s lingering sweetness.
