A gentle sniff reveals a blend of wild mountain grasses and a subtle honey sweetness, exuding freshness and vitality.

Brewed with 90℃ water, the tea liquor is pale golden and translucent like amber, containing fine and uniform tea fuzz. Even after 8 infusions, it remains clear and free of turbidity, with light lacing. The cup walls retain traces of tea fuzz.

Aroma: Layered and Progressive Aged Sweet Charm

Taste: Balanced Beauty of Clean Sweetness and Mellow Richness

It is smooth and sweet on the palate, with a refreshing and invigorating aftertaste that lingers in the throat for 15 seconds. The tea is at its best from the 3rd to the 6th infusion, with a thick and smooth texture and a "sweet yet potent" flavor. Even after the 10th infusion, the final brew remains sweet and refreshing, without any blandness.

Infused Leaves:

When brewed, the leaves are pale yellowish-green with a reddish tint, intact and plump. They feel elastic when squeezed, confirming the use of first-picked spring buds as raw materials and precise processing.

Overall, it combines the ecology of Yiwu's wild mountains with the craftsmanship of the Aini people — one sip captures the freshness of spring and the calmness of ancient trees.
