The dry leaves show purple and dark brown colors with twisted shapes. The leaves are whole and wiry, displaying the characteristic purple hue from the cultivar. The aroma carries ripe stone fruit notes with honey sweetness and floral undertones.

The liquor brews a golden-amber color with orange tones. The first sip brings dried apricot sweetness immediately. The flavor develops into ripe peach notes with wildflower honey richness. The body is full and smooth, coating the mouth without astringency. The sweetness persists through multiple infusions, with the fruit character remaining dominant. The finish is clean with lingering honey notes.

From Menghai County in Yunnan Province, this uses the purple-leaf cultivar processed as a black style. Good for drinkers who prefer fruit-forward blacks without malt or astringency.
