Taste
Dry Leaf Appearance
Straight, tight, neat threads (挺直紧结); pale yellow with greenish tint (嫩黄绿润), with noticeable white down (显毫). Two-tone "white flesh — green veins" preserved even in dr...
Dry Leaf Aroma
Pure green (清香) with pronounced floral background (花香). Delicate, "milky" tone — result of high amino acid content.
Liquor Aroma
Rich and persistent (馥郁, fùyù). Floral-green, with "creamy" background. Not typical "roasted" profile — closer to white tea in softness, but fresher.
Liquor Color
Clear, light yellow (for "silver needle" type) or orange-yellow (for "shou mei" type). High clarity.
Spent Leaves
Jade-white with emerald-green veins (玉白翠绿) — characteristic two-tone "marble" effect. Lively, opens in "buds" (鲜活成朵).
Taste
Exceptionally fresh and brisk (鲜爽), with bright natural sweetness (甘醇) and silky smoothness (滑, huá). Bitterness and astringency practically absent — consequence of extraor...
