Long Leaves, Honeyed Sweetness
The term “xiang jin” describes the tea’s long, robust leaf strands and supple character. In the cup, a fine, smooth texture carries a clear sweetness and a pronounced orchid-like aroma. A light touch of bitterness gives way to returning sweetness, with a gentle cooling sensation lingering into the finish.
