description
Light-bodied and smooth, these silver tipped leaves truly live up to their name. The liquor feels soft on the palate with tender floral notes, kind of like Asiatic lilies and citrus blossoms. These flavors grow and run through the cup. Hints of lush fruitiness of peaches and cantaloupes come around giving depth to the liquor. It turns mellow and some raw fruity tones also appear which wane and make way for a fragrant finish of fuchsia peonies. Steep it a second time to enjoy it more with bright notes of green apple and calisson.

taste
The liquor is light-bodied, smooth and feels soft and enveloping on the palate. It starts with delicate floral notes, reminiscent of Asiatic lily and citrus blossom, which gradually grow into prominence and defines the theme of this cup. Intermittently, delectable fruity flavors akin to cantaloupe and peach can be perceived which render a layer of depth and mellow character to the liquor. Subtle raw fruity undercurrents comes through around the edges; which however ebb to finish on exquisite fragrance of fuchsia peonies, making for a distinguished finish. The second steep is equally enjoyable and brings forth radiant notes of green apple and calisson, making for a truly sublime cup of Spring Oolong from Darjeeling.
