tasting note

I. Dry Leaf AnalysisThe dry leaf of this Risheehat invoice is a masterclass in structural integrity. These forest green, spring-harvested whole leaves exhibit a sophisticated twist, maintaining an impeccable consistency in both shape and size. The presence of slender, slim tips adds a layer of refinement to the appearance, suggesting a delicate plucking standard. The overall aesthetic is one of focused energy, typical of a high-grade spring manufacture.

II. Infusion Upon awakening, the leaves transition into a vibrant forest green hue, radiating a sense of renewed vitality. The olfactory profile is dominated by a sweet vegetal aroma, remarkably clean and evocative of dew-drenched mountain flora. The absence of any heavy toasted notes allows the pure, "green" essence of the Risheehat terroir to remain the protagonist.

III. Liquor AssessmentIn the cup, the liquor presents a luminous pale primrose color, possessing a crystalline clarity that promises a refined tasting experience. The initial impression is defined by a sweet vegetal core, providing a smooth and accessible foundation.A subtle jasmine note emerges mid-palate, imparting an ethereal floral dimension that elevates the cup’s complexity.The experience concludes with what can be described as the sweet side of astringency—a clean, mouth-watering sensation that lingers without bitterness, leaving a persistent floral sweetness on the tongue.
