A good tea blend is a game of balance, where the contribution of each variety enhances the others. This tea, a blend of three cultivars and one wild variety, succeeds in this endeavor, offering a beautifully balanced array of aromas and sensations. The smoothness of the liquor is complemented by its minerality, creating a tingly sensation reminiscent of sparkling water, which makes the infusion feel juicier. The maltiness serves as the foundation for more prominent aromas, such as those of a potpourri of dried meadow flowers: sweet yet slightly pungent, lingering in the mouth alongside the sweet aftertaste of light wildflower honey.

For best results in gongfu cha, brew in the traditional gaiwan or in a Yixing teapot. Too high water temperature would burn the leaves, resulting in bitter taste.
