Taste
Dry Leaf Appearance
Neatly twisted spirals of dark emerald color, resembling dew drops (hence the name). Dense, uniform, with light silvery down on buds — heritage of the Fuding Xiao Bai cultivar.
Dry Leaf Aroma
Fresh, bright, with pronounced floral (jasmine, white acacia) and citrus (lime, pomelo, bergamot) notes — an unusual profile for green tea, due to the combination of Fuding cult...
Liquor Aroma
Develops and deepens the floral-citrus theme of dry leaf, complementing it with light almond and honey nuances. Subtle "mineral" undertone — reflection of karst soils.
Liquor Color
Clear, golden-green (黄绿色, huánglǜsè), bright. Warmer tone than typical pan-fired green teas — influence of steam fixation.
Spent Leaves
Tender, whole buds and young leaves, evenly opened, light green color.

Vitamins
Vitamin C (preserved thanks to steam fixation), B-group vitamins.
