In the cup
The leaves form a compact pan-flower shape with a glossy black surface. They brew a bright red.
Floral aroma and fruity undertones accompany a thick, smooth body. The finish brings a soft returning sweetness.
Leaf and craft
The hand-picked material comes from Guizhou highland gardens: one bud with two or three leaves.
Withering, rolling, full oxidation and shaping into granules precede final drying.
First brew
Use around 6 g in a gaiwan or teapot with water at 90°C. Start with 10 seconds and lengthen the next rounds.
Brew the leaves for three to four rounds, increasing the time a little each time.
