The dry leaves are a dark forest green with hints of a mossy color. They are twisted, gnarled, and bunched into non uniform pellets that open when hit with water. They give off a smooth, rich aroma. Once steeped they open to reveal the toothy, jagged, broken edges from the oxidation process. The color takes on a more consistent dark, mossy hue. The hot water opens up a sweet, fruity aroma.
The liquor is golden in color with a smooth, rich aroma giving notes of toasted graham. The palate is medium bodied, and balanced with a lush finish. Flavors of sweet umami lead into rich mid tones of brioche, with toasty end notes of graham.
