Made from early spring ancient tree leaves from Bingdao, this tea is pressed into the traditional “Golden Melon” tribute shape, weighing 1kg—a form symbolizing auspiciousness and tribute-grade quality. The tea is covered in silvery buds, with a pronounced floral aroma and honey-like sweetness. The liquor is golden and bright, offering a fresh, sweet, and refreshing taste with Bingdao’s signature “rock sugar” coolness. Exceptionally durable, it remains sweet and flavorful even after 15+ infusions.
