Orchid and Honey in a Golden Cup

Distinct leaf strands loosen gradually from the pressed cake. The clear golden liquor carries floral and honeyed aromas into the cup. An initial light bitterness gives way to a smooth, fine texture and a sweet aftertaste, while the fragrance remains present through the tea session.
