Taste
- Dry Leaf Appearance
- Tight twist, thin wiry tea leaves (条索紧细, tiáosuǒ jǐn xì), dark brown color with golden tips (金毫). Leaf is even, neat, without dust.
- Dry Leaf Aroma
- Clean, honey-like, with bread and nutty overtones. Possible light chestnut shade — a characteristic feature of Dabie Mountain teas.
- Liquor Aroma
- Warm and sweet, with transition from honey and dried fruits to bread-caramel tones. In the cooling cup, subtle woody-grassy notes emerge, reminiscent of dry autumn leaves.
- Liquor Color
- From amber to red-chestnut, clear and bright. Color depth depends on degree of oxidation and harvest standard.
- Spent Leaves
- Leaf unfolds elastically and evenly; shades from copper-brown to reddish-chestnut. Structure is clearly visible: whole buds and leaves without tears.
