Appearance

Dry leaf: Small compressed circular medallion of leaf with concave base, wrapped in white tissue. Leaf is a combination of pale, pewter strands with darker brown and grey leaf
Wet leaf: When infused, the leaf becomes a variegated birch and olive green, losing its pewter and grey hues
Liquor: Deep yellow green

Aroma

Dry leaf: In its compressed state, the leaf has a very discreet aromatic profile: gentle, warm and straw-like
Liquor: Warm and nourishing: earth and spring forest floor. Some tea bush and tobacco leaf sweetness. Hint of lychee fruit in the finish

Flavour

Liquor: Gentle and gracious introduction to this often challenging tea style: supple, velvety and full, with flavours in which a mild almond softness is highlighted with some gentle herbal notes
