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.
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.
