Botanical Profile

Yunnan, China
Harvest Season:
Spring

Cultivar / Variety:
Da Ye Zhong
Processing / Picking:
Hand-plucked as silver-white buds and slender grey-green leaves. It is processed using traditional Sheng PuErh methods—sun-dried and minimally handled to allow the "wildness" of the mountain flowers and forest honey to shine through.
Sensory Analysis
EYES
A striking blend of slender grey-green leaves and fuzzy silver buds. The liquor is a bright, clear afternoon sun yellow.
NOSE
A complex, "cloudy" bouquet. It opens with cooked apricots, toffee, and cinnamon, grounded by a deep misty mineral/slate aroma and fresh petrichor.
MOUTH
A tropical and wild fusion. It leads with guava and cherimoya (custard apple), moving into savory notes of nutmeg custard and fennel tops. It has a unique "brothy" and oily texture.
BODY
Medium thick and bright. Settling and clarifying with a natural digestif quality — it calms the stomach and quiets the mind after a meal.
