dry leaf
Tightly compressed 250g cake with glossy, dark chocolate-brown leaves and a few golden tips. Aroma of aged wooden chest, faint vanilla, and clean cellar air.
wet leaf
After rinse, the leaves unfurl into a deep mahogany, releasing a soft, baked-bread sweetness and a hint of damp forest floor.
liquor
The liquor pours a brilliant garnet-red, crystal clear, with a silky, oily mouthfeel.
aroma
Warm camphor and dried Chinese jujube rise first, followed by a subtle incense-cedar note and sweet, sun-warmed hay.
taste
Smooth entry with gentle weight: caramelized sugar, toasted rice, and a touch of walnut shell. No fermentation off-notes; a clean, mineral backbone keeps it lively.
finish
Medium-long with a cooling sensation in the throat (huí gān), leaving a lingering brown-sugar sweetness and a trace of petrichor.
