Quite large, longitudinally twisted leaves, almost black in colour with a turquoise sheen. When warmed by breath, the potential power of the tea and its extensive bouquet of floral and fruity aromas can be sensed.
The infusion is amber in colour, and the fruity aroma becomes significantly sweeter and softer. The taste is very delicate, smooth and floral, with a hint of custard. The sweetness of bamboo, jasmine, hay, spinach, hops, lychee and a little raisin. The sourness of basil, bergamot, lily and a hint of orange. If brewed strongly, the bitterness of eucalyptus will be more pronounced and a slight astringency will appear on the sides of the tongue. The aftertaste is lingering, refreshing, fruity, slightly drying the mouth, with a distinct grapefruit flavour and a cool sensation on the tip of the tongue.
Despite its mild taste and aroma, the tea has a strong effect. It induces a pleasant intoxication and a surge of strength, harmony and calm.
