Taste
- Dry Leaf Appearance
- Straight, tight, neat threads (条索紧秀匀直), with noticeable "tips" (锋苗显露). Color — "silvery-green with jade undertone" (银绿隐翠, yín lǜ yǐn cuì).
- Dry Leaf Aroma
- Chestnut (栗香, lì xiāng) — dominant, high and persistent. Result of precise "fire work" in the final stage.
- Liquor Aroma
- Chestnut-green, rich and stable. With cooling — light "bread" notes.
- Liquor Color
- Tender green, clear and bright (嫩绿清澈).
- Spent Leaves
- Yellow-green, bright and even (黄绿明亮匀整).
- Taste
- Fresh (鲜爽) and simultaneously sweet-clean (回甘, huígān) — long returning aftertaste. Balance of freshness and "body."
