TASTING
A distinctive sweet cultivar aroma, with a clearly drawn character.
Sweet, fine and rounded, with fragrance running through.
Bairuixiang is a traditional Wuyi cultivar, named for its fragrance. Made as Lapsang Souchong, the cultivar's signature sweet, rounded aroma is kept whole, setting off the mellow sweetness of black tea — a scent profile you will recognize at once.
The dry leaf carries the cultivar's signature sweet, rounded aroma; once brewed, the sweetness runs through every infusion, with the mellow sweetness of black tea beneath it. The scent left in the empty cup is distinctive — easy to recognize.
Sweet, fine and rounded on the palate, the aroma descending with the liquor; a smooth body, sweet but never hollow. The fragrance remains after swallowing — for a tea named for its scent, the scent is the lead.
