dry leaf
A visual feast: downy silver needles, jade-green curls, twisted oolong with hints of roast, wiry black tea, and dark, compressed pu-erh nuggets.
wet leaf
After a rinse, leaves unfurl whole, releasing fresh meadow, roasted grain, and deep earth notes — proof of careful processing and proper storage.
liquor
The collection pours a spectrum: champagne-silver from white, pale jade from green and yellow, golden amber from oolong, coppery red from black, and dark walnut from shou pu-erh.
aroma
A blanket of scents: fresh-cut grass and steamed greens from white/green, honey and orchid from oolong, malt and cocoa from black, wet stone and camphor from pu-erh.
taste
From delicate sweetness to robust earthiness — white tea's cucumber cool, green's nutty vegetal, yellow's mellow cream, dancong's honeyed florals, black's malty fruit, and pu-erh's deep, damp forest floor.
finish
Finishes vary: white leaves a cool, crisp sweetness; oolong carries a lingering floral-aftertaste with *huigan*; pu-erh leaves a long, grounding warmth.
