The freshly picked leaves are briefly withered before being slowly air-dried, preserving the distinctive fruit and herbal aromatics of the leaf while allowing a little natural bitterness to remain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe aroma is immediately striking, with dried apricot and ripe stone fruit noticeable before the tea is even brewed. In the cup, white peach and sugarcane bring a soft sweetness, followed by sage, green almond, and a gentle herbaceous edge. A slight bitterness gives the tea structure, while the liquor remains silky and full with a cooling finish that lingers between steeps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFruit-forward and unusual for a white tea, with enough savoury and herbal character underneath to keep it balanced. It develops gradually over multiple infusions, moving from bright stone fruit towards a softer, more rounded and cooling finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTastes like\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDried apricot, sugarcane, white peach \u003ci\u003e(Top)\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003cbr\u003e\nSage, green almond, cooling herbs \u003ci\u003e(Base)\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n5g tea \/ 100ml water \/ 85–90°C\u003cbr\u003e\nSteep for 30–60 sec.
