Dried leaves: The bright, handsome and lustrous leaves exhale a fruity aroma of lychee and candied persimmon.
Infused leaves: The finery of jade unleashes notes of sweet magnolia flower and wild strawberry.
Liquor: The liquor with emerald reflections resembles nectar. Besides hints of bamboo resin and candied angelica, the umami texture resonates with a tone of sumptuous white apricot.
