Smooth, texture coats the palate with a refreshing quality. Brisk spinach and grass notes open into sweet honeysuckle and buttery cream that develops as you drink.

Additional details

Description

The dry leaves are tightly rolled into small, dense pellets with a deep green color and occasional jade highlights. When handled, they release a bright vegetal aroma mixed with floral notes. The scent suggests fresh-cut grass and honeysuckle in bloom. Breaking open a few pellets reveals the intact leaf structure inside.

The leaves unfurl slowly in hot water, producing a pale yellow-green liquor with clarity. The first infusion brings forward spinach and grass flavors with noticeable briskness. Subsequent steepings reveal a creamy, buttery quality that coats the mouth. The sweetness builds with each cup, leaving honeysuckle notes in the finish. The body is medium-weight with smooth texture throughout multiple infusions.

From Anxi County in Fujian Province, this comes from a region known for oolong production but also grows quality greens. Traditional processing creates the characteristic ball-rolled shape and preserves vegetal freshness. Suits drinkers who enjoy greens with cream and floral notes rather than purely grassy profiles.
