"The History of Tea" states: “Tea has three wonders: its color, its aroma, and its taste.” For those just beginning to explore tea, it’s often the fragrance that first captivates them—a profound acknowledgment of tea’s allure, and precisely the reason why tea “steals hearts with its scent.”
Good tea has a natural aroma, and its water itself carries the fragrance. Meanwhile, teas on the market—depending on how well the craftsmanship is executed—present tea aromas that can vary widely.

As the tea’s fragrance fills your mouth, its allure deepens, leaving a lingering, unforgettable aftertaste.

After sipping the tea, the delicate aroma lingers gracefully, rising gently from the throat along with a lingering sweetness, leaving an exceptionally long-lasting impression.
