Quality & Sensory
Each batch is carefully processed to preserve the tightly rolled jade-green leaves, a clean dry texture, and a moderate, softly floral aroma. When brewed, the liquor turns pale gold-green and yields a smooth, sweet, and refreshing cup with a lingering huigan (回甘) sweetness that returns gently after each sip. The leaves unfurl slowly across many infusions, releasing layer after layer of delicate fragrance.
