Aged ripened leaves are stuffed inside dried green mandarin peels, creating small citrus spheres. The exterior shows the dimpled texture of dried orange skin in greenish-brown tones. Breaking open reveals dark, fermented leaves compressed within. The aroma combines bright citrus with earthy, aged character.

Steeping produces a deep reddish-brown liquor with orange highlights. Initial sweetness from the mandarin peel hits first, followed immediately by citrus tang. The earthy base of ripened material grounds the brightness. A cooling mint-like sensation develops mid-palate. Caramel sweetness emerges in the finish as the citrus and earth balance each other. The body remains smooth and full.

Oranges come from Xinhui, Guangdong Province, while palace-grade ripened material originates from Jinggu in Yunnan. This combination suits drinkers wanting brightness and complexity over straight ripened profiles.
