TASTING
Fresh aroma in abundance; a liquor clear and lustrous.
Like eating fresh spring shoots, bracingly clean, returning sweetness welling up like mountain spring water.
Very early pre-Qingming buds, with tea polyphenols and amino acids in just the right proportion; pan-fired over the lightest heat, keeping the natural fresh aroma whole. A clear, lustrous liquor, bud tips standing upright; on entry a rush of fresh aroma like eating tender spring shoots — the choice for the extreme of freshness.
Dry leaf tender-scented with a downy note; once brewed, fresh aroma spills out — the breath of spring shoots just breaking ground; a clean freshness at the bottom of the cup, short-lived but utterly clean.
On entry like eating fresh spring shoots, bracingly clean; fresh yet never thin, every note in just proportion; returning sweetness wells up like mountain spring water, the finish cool and moist.
