The aroma is purely floral-sweet with clean chrysanthemum character. A light herbal quality appears without mustiness. The scent is refreshing and bright.

The liquor steeps to a pale yellow color with clarity. First sips reveal gentle bitterness characteristic of chrysanthemum, quickly transitioning to floral sweetness. The herbal character is clean without medicinal sharpness. The body is light and refreshing. The bitterness and sweetness balance across multiple steepings. The finish carries lingering floral-sweet notes with herbaceous undertones.

From Shexian in Anhui Province's Huangshan region, this represents traditional medicinal-grade processing. Good for drinkers seeking pure chrysanthemum character for both flavor and traditional wellness applications rather than blended herbal mixes.
