This tea is made from Longjing tea varietals (e.g. Longjing No.43) and hand-pan-fired before Qingming Festival.  
- **Pre-Qingming Harvest**: Plucked only in early April, with a 7-10 day window. Extremely limited.  

- **Aroma**: Floral orchid scent when dry, evolving to roasted chestnut after brewing.  
- **Taste**: Umami-rich like "vegetable broth" (high in L-theanine), with a sweet finish reminiscent of sugarcane.  
- **Mouthfeel**: Silky smooth texture, almost zero astringency thanks to early harvest.
