dry leaf
Flat, jade-green Longjing leaves, dusty with down, their chestnut aroma promising sweetness.
wet leaf
Leaves uncurl into whole buds and young leaves, pale olive, releasing a scent of steamed edamame and fresh-cut grass.
liquor
Pale gold, as transparent as the teapot itself; no cloudiness, just brilliant clarity.
aroma
Subtle chestnut and sweetgrass, lifted by a faint floral note of young orchid, unimpeded by the neutral glass.
taste
Silky and round, with a natural sweetness reminiscent of toasted rice and early-summer melon rind. The glass holds heat gently, never scalding the delicate leaves.
finish
Clean, lingering, with a cooling sensation and gentle huigan that invites the next sip.
