Feuille sèche

Appearance: a tightly-rolled leaf the size of a garden pea.
Colours: intense green.
Aromas: floral, herbaceous and buttery, on a vanilla background.

Infusion

Colour: the unfolded leaf appears resistant and though – the sign of a certain maturity.
Aromas: reproduces the scent of the dry leaf, with a very ample, sweet, milky note.

Liqueur

Colour: pale yellowTexture: like a very light oil, very rounded.
Flavours: a touch of bitterness
Aromas: floral notes very different from those of the Bao Zhong teas, plus sweetness, then opulence; generally set off very well by the very rich, buttery, and vanilla background.
