The leaves are tightly rolled into small, jade-green balls about the size of a peppercorn. Some oxidation shows as darker edges on the rolled leaves. The color is primarily bright green with brown accents. The dry aroma combines honey sweetness with floral notes and a hint of roasted grain.

The balls unfurl into full leaves, producing a golden-yellow liquor. The first sip delivers buttery richness with honey sweetness. Floral character develops mid-palate, adding complexity without overpowering. Baked fruit notes appear as the cup cools. The texture is smooth and creamy with medium body. The finish is clean and sweet with lingering honey.

From Ali Shan in Jiayi County, Taiwan, grown at high elevation with light roasting. The light roast preserves floral character while adding depth. Suitable for high-mountain oolong enthusiasts or those preferring balanced oxidation with buttery texture and honey notes.
