Flavor Evolution (For Reference)

2024 (New Tea):
Dominated by natural orchid aroma with a touch of charcoal roast. The fragrance is bright and long-lasting — when brewed with boiling water, the rising steam carries a rich floral note. The tea leaves a clear, lingering aroma in the cup. The taste is full-bodied, smooth, and sweet, with richness but no bitterness. It delivers a strong returning sweetness and a long, lingering finish. The liquor is robust yet not overly stimulating.
5-Year Aged (2020):
Orchid aroma fades, charcoal notes retreat. Hints of ripe fruit begin to emerge, along with a touch of fresh woodiness. A light acidity appears, but the tea still stimulates salivation. The overall taste becomes smoother, though slightly thinner in complexity.
10-Year Aged (2015):
Acidity lessens. Aged notes (like dry wood) blend with faint traces of orchid. The freshness is gone. The liquor becomes silky, and the returning sweetness shifts toward a rock sugar-like softness.
20-Year Aged (2005):
Dominated by aged aromas (sandalwood, herbs). The liquor turns amber, thick and rich like rice soup. The aftertaste is deep with a medicinal undertone.
30-Year Aged (1995):
A complex blend of aged and herbal notes (like ginseng and dried citrus peel). The liquor is thick, smooth, and almost oily. Sweetness is subtle and refined, with a long-lasting aftertaste reminiscent of aged liquor.
