Tasting Notes
Aroma: Opens up with deep mineral notes (“yan yun” 岩韵, or rock rhyme), followed by hints of ripe fruit, orchid, and a touch of spice like cinnamon or clove.
Flavor: The tea offers a harmonious balance between roasted and floral notes, with a subtle smokiness and hints of dried fruits.
Finish: The aftertaste, or hui gan, is long-lasting and soothing, leaving a soft, floral and mildly sweet finish that lingers on the palate.

Health Benefits You Love
– Aids in digestion
– Energises the mindIn a small teapot, steep for 30 seconds if you like your tea quite light and up to 1 minute if you prefer something stronger. The bigger your teapot, the longer the steeping time.
In a normal sized mug (approximately 250ml), steeping time should be between 2 to 3 minutes.
If you brew your tea in a convenience cup, do not throw the leaves away after 1 round. Good tea leaves are good for 3 rounds. You may want to steep the leaves slightly longer with each subsequent round.
