You will notice a very mild peony aroma when brewing the tea and a floral aroma, the tea is best brewed with good mineral water and at 70°C to 80°C (158°F to 176°F). The brew is a very pale green or golden color. The flavor is fruity; stronger than [[Baihao Yinzhen]], yet not as strong as [[Shou Mei]]. The finest quality should have a shimmering clear infusion with a delicate lingering fragrance and a fresh, mellow, sweet taste devoid of astringency, and grassy flavors. | You will notice a very mild peony aroma when brewing the tea and a floral aroma, the tea is best brewed with good mineral water and at 70°C to 80°C (158°F to 176°F).
