    Tangerine Shou with Clarity

    It did not strike me that this was Shan Tuyết until I went "...!? Tangerine Shou!?" on my initial tasting. However, unlike the shou, this shira-cha (white tea) maintains a clear sweetness, with grassy tasting notes budding through the earthy flavor profile.

    Just as one would expect triadic colors in color theory, following a refreshment on Gaylard's Flavor Wheel (2015), I found that chocolate-sweet grass-damp forest are 'triadic', as well.

    Is nature not a tantalizing sort?
