the experience
(liquor)

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.

Fritters, cheese-based salads, steamed seafood and tropical fruits

Fresh nuts, hints of ferns with a soft sweetness akin to a pastry
