dry leaf
Long, flattened, jade-green leaves with a uniform vertical press-cloth pattern — reminiscent of orchid leaves. Dry aroma hints at fresh hay and toasted nuts.
wet leaf
After the rinse, the leaves unfurl into vibrant two-leaf-and-bud sets, releasing a clean, steamed-vegetable scent with a touch of chestnut.
liquor
Pale yellow-green, brilliantly clear, with a light body that catches the light.
aroma
Warm, nutty chestnut is the first note, followed by fresh snap pea, a whisper of orchid, and a faint mineral undertone.
taste
The entry is smooth and rounded, with a sweet chestnut-vegetal flavor that fills the mouth. There's a gentle umami reminiscent of steamed spinach, balanced by a crisp, grassy brightness.
finish
A clean finish with a returning sweetness (huí gān) that lingers at the back of the palate, leaving a refreshing, dry-mineral aftertaste.
