Fresh cucumber and honey dominate with soymilk creaminess underneath. Lychee and hay notes appear as the cup cools.
The leaves are entirely composed of long, needle-shaped buds covered in fine silver-white downy hairs. The uniformity is striking with no leaf material present. A fresh, inviting aroma rises suggesting tender pekoe with springtime character.
Brewing produces a very pale yellow liquor, almost clear with slight golden tint. The first cup reveals sweet, creamy flavor with soymilk quality that is smooth and mild. Fresh cucumber essence develops in subsequent steeps, providing refreshing contrast to the sweetness. Honey and lychee notes emerge in later infusions. The body is light and silky. The finish is clean with refreshing cucumber and lingering hay-like sweetness.
From Fuding City in Fujian Province, this represents the highest grade of white processing using only buds. Suitable for drinkers who appreciate minimal processing and prefer light, refreshing profiles over bold flavors.
