The dry leaves are tightly rolled into small, dark green pellets with a uniform appearance. When handled, they release an aroma of sweet beans and roasted chestnuts. The scent is clean and immediate, suggesting careful processing of fresh material.

Brewing produces a light yellow-green liquor with good clarity. The first infusion brings forward grassy, vegetal notes reminiscent of steamed edamame. Subsequent steeps develop a sweeter profile with chestnut undertones and a subtle nuttiness that builds through the session. The texture is smooth without astringency, coating the palate with a light to medium body. The finish is clean with lingering sweetness.

From Mt. Mengding in Sichuan Province's Mingshan District, this comes from one of China's historic production areas. Traditional processing methods preserve the fresh character while developing nutty depth. Suitable for drinkers who enjoy vegetal greens with a sweeter, less brisk profile.
