The leaves consist primarily of golden-tan buds with minimal darker leaf material. The buds are plump and covered in fine down. The color is consistently golden-brown throughout. The dry aroma is warm and inviting with caramel, honey, and chocolate notes. The appearance is premium with uniform bud selection.

The liquor steeps a clear, bright copper-orange. The first sip reveals immediate honey sweetness that coats the palate. Caramel character develops, adding rich sweetness. Dark chocolate notes emerge mid-palate, providing depth and slight bitterness. Malty undertones support the sweeter flavors. The texture is smooth and full-bodied with notable richness.

From Xingcun Town in Wuyishan City, Fujian Province, this golden bud selection represents premium black production. The bud-only harvest creates concentrated sweetness with chocolate and caramel depth. Good for black drinkers seeking sweet, malty profiles with chocolate notes rather than brisk astringency.
