Brewing, origin and taste notes

Brewing
Process
ከፍተኛ ጣፋጭነትና “ወተታማነት” የሚገለጸው በመጀመሪያው ጭልጣ ነው—ይህም L-theanine ከፖሊፊኖሎች ቀድሞ ስለሚወጣ የሚመጣ ውጤት ነው። ሁለተኛና ሦስተኛው አፈላላ የበለጠ “አረንጓዴ” ጣዕም ያገኛሉ፣ ነገር ግን ባህሪያዊ ለስላሳነትና መራራነት አለመኖር ይጠበቃሉ።

Dry Leaf Aroma
Pure green (清香) with pronounced floral background (花香). Delicate, "milky" tone — result of high amino acid content.
Liquor Aroma
Rich and persistent (馥郁, fùyù). Floral-green, with "creamy" background. Not typical "roasted" profile — closer to white tea in softness, but fresher.
Liquor Color
Clear, light yellow (for "silver needle" type) or orange-yellow (for "shou mei" type). High clarity.
Spent Leaves
Jade-white with emerald-green veins (玉白翠绿) — characteristic two-tone "marble" effect. Lively, opens in "buds" (鲜活成朵).
