Description

The flat, pressed leaves show olive-green coloring with sword-like shape from pan-firing. Leaf size is fairly uniform with visible texture from the pressing process. Dry aroma presents roasted chestnut and light floral orchid notes with vegetal undertones.

The liquor is pale yellow-green and clear. First taste offers smooth texture with immediate chestnut character from roasting. Floral orchid notes develop in the middle providing contrast to the nutty base. Fresh grass and vegetal character emerge in the finish with sweet aftertaste. Body is medium-light without astringency. Three to four infusions maintain the core chestnut-floral profile.

Produced in Qiantang District of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, the historic origin of this style. Traditional hand-processing in heated pans creates the flat shape and toasted flavor. Suitable for those seeking entry-level introduction to authentic pan-fired Chinese greens.
