A floral and herbaceous cup with a lingering biscuity sweetness. The finish is clean with a lasting minerality that spreads across the palate after each sip.
Hand picked at an elevation of 900m, these leaves are rolled in four stages in a moon roller before being spread on bamboo racks for fermentation. After partial oxidation the leaves are fried like a green tea to halt the oxidation process before being rolled into the ball shape and roasted. The leaves are then given time to rest and are further roasted after a few months to develop a more nuanced flavour profile.
