The palate presents a smooth, mellow, nectar-like flavor with no hint of astringency, concluding with a lightly floral aftertaste.

The L-theanine present in the delicate white hairs encourages an alert state of relaxation, making this a tea that truly demands to be savored. It is an absolute must-try for any tea connoisseur seeking a truly refined and evolving tea experience.
