Almond Aroma

杏仁香 - Xing Ren Xiang
At the summit, where the wind strips everything bare, the smallest leaf in all of Dancong holds on. Serrated edges sharp enough to earn a dialect name: the sawblade (鋸朵仔 Ju Duo Zai). And from all that severity: almond cream, marzipan warmth, silk. Only the youngest buds are picked. Nothing on this mountain looks like it. Nothing tastes like it either.
Aroma
Deep roasted nuts, coconut, almond cream, light caramel, butter on toast.
Taste
Bright and lively. Coconut and almond cream, with a fleeting marzipan bitterness that gives the sweetness its shape.
Body
Light to medium, lively, elastic.
Finish
Fresh, cooling. Aftertaste of almond milk, nutty, fresh vegetal.
