TASTING
Orchid and wild honey held in reserve; the empty cup keeps its scent.
Sweet as honey water with barely any bitterness; a cool throat and a hidden scent that stays.
Trees of about 80 years at an average elevation of approx. 1,300 m; April 2026 batch. The keywords for Mansong small-leaf are sweet, fine, and a fragrance that moves beneath the surface — a small-leaf mountain once sent as tribute to the imperial court, drunk for its understated nobility: an elegant orchid note and wild-honey scent held in reserve, with a lasting mark on the empty cup. On entry it is sweet as honey water, with almost no bitterness or astringency; the soup is fine and silky, soft yet with an inner strength — a few cups in, the body warms gently, the energy unmistakable. Returning sweetness is long, the throat cool, a hidden fragrance lingering deep. The first two infusions pour pale as water, easy to underestimate, then turn bright golden — fragrant and sweet even after 20.
An elegant orchid note and wild-honey scent, understated rather than loud; the first two infusions carry the aroma on a quiet line, soft but never scattered; the empty cup keeps its scent long, sweet even cold.
Sweet on entry like drinking honey water, with almost no bitterness or astringency; the soup is fine and silky, soft with an inner strength — a few cups in, the body warms gently; returning sweetness is long, the throat cool, a hidden fragrance lingering at the throat.

- Craft
- Sun-dried: withered, kill-green and rolled, then dried in sunlight — keeping the leaf alive to drink now or to age.
- Water
- 90–95°C; batches aged for years can take boiling water
- Brewing
- 110ml white porcelain gaiwan, 5g of leaf, boiling water fast in and fast out: decant immediately for the first infusions, then extend steeping a little each round. Young tea for freshness, aged tea can sit longer — it keeps going for many infusions.

CARE
