The compressed cake shows larger, mature leaves in brown and tan shades with some darker oxidized portions. Visible stems and leaf fragments indicate late-season picking. The dry cake releases sweet jujube aromas mixed with woody, herbal notes and subtle green plum character.

Brewing produces amber to light brown liquor. First steeps deliver pronounced jujube sweetness with red date richness coating the palate. Mid-infusions develop green plum tartness balanced by woody, herbal depth. The body is medium to full with smooth, non-astringent texture. Later steeps maintain sweet-tart balance while herbal notes become more prominent. The aged character mellows any sharpness.
