Aroma, taste and texture

Floral sweetness, soft fruit, supple texture and gradually building aftertaste are common market descriptions, but not universal guarantees.

Practical guidance

Use 5g per 100ml with near-boiling water and watch how body and sweetness build over rounds.

Identification and caution

Request village, producer, harvest and batch evidence. The broad Yiwu name covers a very wide price and quality range.
