Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma
Vegetal and brisk with notes of ripe melon, dry fruit, and soft nutty undertones.
Appearance
Gold
Taste
A brisk, medium-bodied cup that opens with fresh green notes and lively vegetal brightness, unfolding into soft layers of melon and delicate dry-fruit sweetness.

Gentle nutty undertones add warmth and texture to the infusion, while subtle hints of dewy greens and mellow fruit carry through to a smooth, lingering finish. Elegant and refreshing, it captures the timeless character of a classic Spring Chinary black tea.
