The dry leaves are a mix of black leaves and golden buds with an aromatically fruity aroma, suggestive of apricot and peach. The wet leaves are uniformly burnt umber in colour, with a fruit salad and spicy scent, with latent hints of cinnamon.

4g of dry leaf was infused in 120ml of water for 20-30sec. @95deg. C., producing an orange coloured brew tea liquor with a faint grainy aroma. The mouthfeel is viscous, thick, stimulating, mildly mineralish, with a sweet finish, whilst the taste demonstrates fragrant hints of apricot, with a retronasal peach aftertaste.
