Vendor Notes
Dry leaves offer a warm, buttery pastry aroma that intensifies upon brewing to a sharper pineapple scent. The liquor is a bright golden hue, hinting at its traditional ~20% oxidation. The texture is slippery with a mineral-milky quality, more grippy than other high mountains. Bold aromas unfold to reveal notes of cotton candy and a sweet, banana-like magnolia scent. It provides strong salivation and a long, lingering finish.
