Description

The leaves are exceptionally large and flat, measuring up to three inches long. Color is deep jade green with prominent parallel veining visible on the surface. Dry aroma is fresh and floral with distinct orchid notes and vegetal undertones.

Brewing produces pale green liquor with excellent clarity. Initial taste is brisk and sweet with immediate pea-like vegetal character. Floral orchid notes follow, adding aromatic complexity. The mouthfeel is smooth with moderate body. Umami depth emerges in mid-palate, providing savory balance to the sweetness. Subsequent infusions maintain freshness while developing more pronounced vegetal qualities.

From Houkeng in Huangshan, Anhui Province, processed using traditional hand-pressing methods. Suits those seeking distinctive greens with unique appearance and balanced sweet-savory profiles.
