    aroma

    Light vegetal with lifted notes of unripe tree fruit, cantaloupe with light nutty and green accents

    appearance

    Light gold

    taste

    A medium-bodied, lively cup tipped with raw-fruity attributes akin to raw guava; which gradually grow into prominence and hum along through the length. Luscious undertones of cantaloupe intermingle with mild green notes around the edges, adding a layer of depth and pleasant texture to the liquor. Subtle earthy accents shore up towards the end, which however ebb to finish on light nutty tinctures; making for a memorable experience of Chinary black teas this Spring.
