Quality & Sensory

Each batch is gathered as young, unopened buds and carefully dried to preserve their soft green color, delicate downy texture, and fresh grassy aroma with a faint honeyed sweetness. When steeped, the buds unfurl slowly and yield a pale golden-green infusion with a smooth, mildly sweet taste and a clean, lingering finish — light enough for daily drinking, yet full enough to feel nourishing.
