This strategic terroir gives Youle its perfect balance, yet each new harvest adds a special twist to its impartial taste. This year, abundant rains gave a more mature and fruity taste to the leaves, and while never exceeding in sweetness or astringency, this tea shows a lively frizziness on the tongue, which sweetens and softens in the aftertaste. After few moments, while still contemplating the botanical aroma that lingers in the palate, an unexpected freshness comes to the throat, leaving a balsamic taste of mint.
