This tea’s fruity, honeyed flavour is produced from elegantly long, twisted leaves comes out even more when you pair it with savoury dishes like fried dim sum or fish with chilli and herbs.

TASTE AND AROMA

Appearance

Dry leaf: fine, almost feathery spears of matt, brown-black leaf
Infusion: dark, slender, softly unfolding leaf spears
The colour of the infusion: light fawn

Aroma

Almost improbably fragrant notes of peach and peach blossom, given a further citric lift with fresh-crushed grapefruit.  The scents are nonetheless harmonious, integrated into a gently honeyed base. It has a complex and dazzling aromatic profile.

Taste

It is light-bodied and incisive, with the seductive peach and citrus scents providing huge charm.  A refreshingly bitter-edged aftertaste adds to the cut and thrust of the tea.
