The compressed cake reveals darker brown and tan leaves with visible stems, characteristic of later-harvest white processing. When broken apart, the leaves release warm aromas of aged wood, dried jujube, and red dates. A mild medicinal quality mingles with honeyed sweetness in the dry leaf.

Brewing produces a deep amber liquor with reddish tones. The first infusion brings forward sweet jujube and honey flavors that coat the mouth. Subsequent steeps develop woody depth and medicinal notes reminiscent of dried herbs. The body is full and smooth, with natural sweetness persisting across multiple infusions. Red date character intensifies in later steeps.

From Dieshi Town in Fuding City, Fujian Province, this 2019 cake has developed aged character through traditional storage. The larger leaf grade offers robust flavor suited to drinkers who prefer fuller-bodied whites over lighter silver needle styles.
