Description

Possessing exceptional elegance, this tea is classified within the springtime Ujeon category, representing the earliest harvest moment of any year. It derives from tender buds harvested prior to Gogu, the so-called "grain rain" on 20 April. The result is profound, nearly poetic intensity coupled with an unequalled aromatic sophistication.

A velvety mouthfeel that gains definition toward the finish, unveiling a dynamic, powerful spectrum of fragrances defined by floral, oceanic and minty character notes.

Cultivated under organic principles, this tea carries certification from a recognized independent testing authority.
