Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma

Sweet-greens along with notes of cantaloupe and muted floral accents.

Appearance

Light Gold

Taste

A light-bodied, well-rounded, brisk cup which starts with a distinct note of fresh greens and gradually evolves to reveal delectable tones of cantaloupe towards the middle, rendering an unique texture and defining the flavor profile of the cup.

Soft floral textures akin to lilies are discernible along the edges which gradually ebb to finish on rejuvenating yuzu flavors, making for a sublime experience.
