The Spring Harvest vs. Winter Oolong
While winter harvests offer deeply grounded, cozy warmth, the Spring Harvest is a celebration of life and vibrancy:
The Bouquet: Brighter, intensely aromatic, and blooming with vivid floral notes of orchid, lilac, and gardenia.
The Palate: Livelier, crisp, and remarkably fresh with a subtle, lingering sweetness.
The Experience: Exceptionally complex, layered, and smooth, revealing new nuances with every single steep.
