ORGANOLEPTICS
The dry tea leaves have a light, sweet aroma with notes of wood and honey. After rinsing, the aroma develops into herbal, citrusy, and spicy notes. The taste is deep, soft, and multifaceted with hints of dried fruits, wood, and citrus. Mineral texture with a 'Hui gan' sensation: after the initial sweetness follows bitterness. This tea has a strong, yet noble Cha Qi (Energy). This is a very good example of traditional Hong Kong storage.
