taste
A light-bodied, brisk cup which beams with fresh, green attributes. The flavors coat the palate right at the start and continue to dominate for the most part till it gradually subsides to reveal delectable accents of carambola and unripe tree fruit around the edges; adding a layer of depth and vivacious intensity to the cup. Soothing floral accents akin to white orchids can be picked up towards the finish, which lingers on making for a distinguished experience of chinary balck teas this Spring.
